  • Solvent fractionation of chicken fat for making lipid compositions enriched in unsaturated fatty acid-containing triacylglycerols
    Patent number: 6344574
    Abstract: Lipid compositions enriched in unsaturated fatty acid-containing triacylglycerols are made from chicken fat. The method involves solvent fractionation of chicken fat to provide a lipid composition containing enriched monounsaturated fatty acid esters (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acid esters (PUFAs).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 2000
    Date of Patent: February 5, 2002
    Assignees: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture, Lipotech, L.L.C.
    Inventors: Thomas A. Foglia, Ki-Teak Lee, Donald D. Brillhart
  • Monounsaturated fatty acid compositions and method of making
    Patent number: 6183796
    Abstract: Monounsaturated fatty acid compositions are made by heating isolated lower limbs of cattle in the presence of an effective amount of water and separating the oil produced to form a lipid composition enriched in C14:1 monounsaturated fatty acids. C16:1 monounsaturated fatty acids are also contained in the lipid composition with low levels of both saturated fatty acids and higher chain, i.e., C20-C22 fatty acids.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 1999
    Date of Patent: February 6, 2001
    Assignee: Lipotech Partners Limited Partnership
    Inventor: Donald D. Brillhart
  • Food and pharmaceutical compositions containing short chain monounsaturated fatty acids and methods of using
    Patent number: 5198250
    Abstract: Food and pharmaceutical compositions are disclosed which contain amounts of short chain monounsaturated fatty acids or their derivatives sufficient to increase the content of the fatty acids within the tissues when said compositions are administered and to substantially improve the metabolic processing of lipids within animals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 16, 1990
    Date of Patent: March 30, 1993
    Assignee: Lipotech Partners Limited Partnership
    Inventors: Donald D. Brillhart, Gerald L. Maurer
  • Fuel
    Patent number: 4929252
    Abstract: Castor oil extended by addition of an alcohol and water, the mixture then being essentially immune to phase separation or haziness or inadvertent addition of extra water contamination, of a pH range of about 4-121/2 and having a flash point above the United States government regulation permitting the fuel to be shipped interstate as an oil rather than as a volatile solvent or fuel.
