Abstract: Compositions and coating mixtures for coating agricultural products, and methods of manufacturing compositions and mixtures are described.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions from refined oil from plant matter, and in particular from seed, bean, nut, kernel, or pulp (e.g., wood pulp) material of virgin and/or non-virgin plant matter, and methods of forming those compositions. The methods typically include the steps of (i) at least partially separating the seed, bean, nut, kernel, or pulp material from other portions of the plant matter; (ii) extracting an oil comprising one or more triglycerides from the seed, bean, nut, kernel, or pulp material; (iii) refining the oil to remove one or more impurity components; and (iv) chemically or physically modifying the refined oil.

Abstract: A method for producing C2+ hydrocarbons and H2 comprising (a) introducing to a reactor a reactant mixture comprising methane, (b) heating the reactant mixture to a preheating temperature to yield a heated mixture, (c) generating free radicals in the heated mixture to form a primary effluent mixture comprising free radicals, C2+ hydrocarbons, H2, and unreacted methane, (d) reacting the primary effluent mixture in a secondary reaction zone to form a secondary effluent mixture comprising C2+ hydrocarbons, H2, free radicals, and unreacted methane, at a secondary reaction zone temperature that is greater than the preheating temperature, wherein a free radicals amount in the primary effluent mixture is greater than a free radicals amount in the secondary effluent mixture, (e) cooling the secondary effluent mixture to a quench temperature lower than the secondary reaction zone temperature to yield a product mixture comprising C2+ hydrocarbons and H2, and (f) recovering the product mixture.
