Abstract: The present disclosure provides structured lipids (SLs) and mixtures of SLs including structured triacylglycerols (TAGs), methods of producing the SLs, products including the SLs and methods of making the products.

Abstract: Described herein are novel structured lipids as well as novel mixtures comprising structured lipids. Also described herein are enzymatic methods of forming these structured lipids and mixtures comprising structured lipids. Also described herein are methods of modulating total cholesterol levels, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triacylglycerol levels, and/or the ratio of T-helper cells to T-cytotoxic cells in an individual comprising administrating a structured lipid mixture as provided herein. It is further an object to provide a method of modulating weight in an individual comprising administrating a structured lipid mixture as provided herein.

Abstract: Treatment and recovery of used frying oils uses combinations of adsorbents and antioxidants which provide unexpected improvements in used frying oil adsorptive and other properties, quality and service life such that the recovered frying oil can be reused. Used frying oil can be treated with a ternary mixture of adsorbents comprising calcium silicate, magnesium silicate and at least one of a porous rhyolitic material and silicon dioxide in effective amounts to unexpectedly and significantly reduce free fatty acids of the treated used frying oil as well as improve total polar component, oil stability and color thereof. Combinations of antioxidants can be included in the treated oil in effective amounts to provide unexpected, significant improvements in oil stability and service life of the treated used frying oil.

Abstract: A fat substitute food composition containing a polysaccharide fatty acid polyester in place of from about 0.5% to about 95% of the total fat content of the food composition is disclosed. The polysaccharide is a polymer of at least three monosaccharides and has at least four fatty acid ester groups, each fatty acid portion having from 4 to 24 carbon atoms.
