  • Publication number: 20140058123
    Abstract: A process for making a deodorized edible oil or fat having a low level of bound MCPD (monochloro propanediol esters) and/or low level of bound 3-MCPD is described. The process comprises a step of stripping the vegetable oil or fat with an inert gas. The inert gas can be nitrogen. A deodorized vegetable oil or fat and a food product made there from are described. The food product can be an infant formula. It exhibits low levels of bound MCPD and/or low level of bound 3-MCPD. In one embodiment the oil or fat has a reduced level of free fatty acid as well as a limpid aspect and no off-flavors.

  • Patent number: 8653288
    Abstract: A process for making a deodorized edible oil or fat having a low level of bound MCPD (monochloro propanediol esters) and/or low level of bound 3-MCPD is described. The process comprises a step of contacting the oil or fat to a carboxymethyl cellulose or an ion exchange resin. The carboxymethyl cellulose can be a BlanoseĀ® cellulose gum and the resin can be a cationic resin. A deodorized vegetable oil or fat and a food product made there from is described. The food product can be an infant formula. It exhibits low levels of bound MCPD and/or low level of bound 3-MCPD. In one embodiment the oil or fat has a reduced level of free fatty acid as well as a limpid aspect and no off-flavors.

  • Patent number: 5744145
    Abstract: Oil mixtures, which provide lipid compositions for restraining skin degeneration, contain, by weight, 30% to 50% rice bran oil and 15% to 25% sesame oil and also contain additional oil, which includes in particular, oil from among maize oil, wheat germ oil and sunflower oil, so that the composition contains linoleic acid and contains vitamin E for protecting the composition against oxidation, the composition being prepared from oils containing gum, color and odor which are subjected to degumming, decoloring and deodorizing, the deodorizing being carried out under conditions of temperature and vacuum so that the composition has at least 2% by weight unsaponifiable oil matter and particularly from 2% to 3% unsaponifiable oil matter.

  • Patent number: 5679809
    Abstract: A composition concentrated in ethyl esters of polyunsaturated fatty acids is prepared by mixing a refined oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids with ethanol in the presence of a catalyst to obtain an ethanolyzate containing a glycerol phase and fatty acid ethyl ester phase. The fatty acid ethyl ester phase is separated from the glycerol phase and mixed with urea and ethanol to form a mixture, which is cooled to form a liquid phase containing fatty acid ethyl esters and a solid phase containing insoluble inclusion complexes. The liquid phase is separated from the solid phase to obtain a fraction enriched in ethyl esters of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

  • Patent number: 5653966
    Abstract: A lipid composition for preparation of cosmetic compositions is provided by a mixture of, by weight based upon a weight of the lipid composition, from 40% to 60% apricot kernel oil, from 10% to 20% of an oil containing palmitoleic acid, from 15% to 25% of olive oil and from 20% to 30% of rice bran oil or sesame oil or combinations thereof. Cosmetic compositions containing the lipid mixture may be anhydrous or contain water. The preparation of the lipid composition may include treating the mixture of oils with steam at a temperature of about 180.degree. C. for about 3 hours at a rate of about 1% per hour and under a vacuum of about 1 mbar to 2 mbar for deodorizing the oils.

  • Patent number: 5395629
    Abstract: Fat substitutes are prepared without a molecular distillation step by enzymatically or chemically interesterifying a fully hydrogenated vegetable oil rich in stearic acid (FHLCT) with a medium chain fatty acid triglyceride rich in caproic, caprylic and capric fatty acids (MCT) under conditions such that the amount of tristearin in the interesterified mixture is lower than 5% by weight. The interesterified mixture is bleached and deodorized, and may be used as a substitute for butterfat or vegetable butter, e.g., cocoa butter.
