  • Processes for obtaining microbial oil from microbial cells
    Patent number: 11124736
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are processes for obtaining a microbial oil comprising one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from one or more microbial cells by lysing the cells to form a lysed cell composition and then recovering the oil from the lysed cell composition. Further disclosed herein is microbial oil comprising one or more PUFAs that is recovered from microbial cells by at least one process described herein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 21, 2021
    Assignee: DSM IP Assets B.V.

  • PROCESSES FOR OBTAINING MICROBIAL OIL FROM MICROBIAL CELLS
    Publication number: 20190390135
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are processes for obtaining a microbial oil comprising one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from one or more microbial cells by lysing the cells to form a lysed cell composition, treating the lysed cell composition to form an oil-containing emulsion and then recovering the oil from the oil-containing emulsion. Further disclosed herein is microbial oil comprising one or more PUFAs that is recovered from microbial cells by at least one process described herein.

  • Processes for obtaining microbial oil from microbial cells
    Patent number: 10342772
    Abstract: Processes are disclosed for obtaining a lipid from a cell by lysing the cell to form a lysed cell composition, adding an acid to lower the pH of the lysed cell composition, and demulsify the lysed cell composition, and obtaining the lipid from the demulsified lysed cell composition. Also disclosed are lipids prepared by the processes of the present invention wherein the lipids have a particular anisidine value, peroxide value, and/or phosphorus content.

  • PROCESS FOR EXTRACTING LIPIDS FOR USE IN PRODUCTION OF BIOFUELS
    Publication number: 20190010419
    Abstract: Methods and systems used to extract lipids suitable in production of biofuels from a fermentation broth may include using heat to pre-treat the fermentation broth in order to more easily extract a product from oleaginous microorganisms in the broth. Additionally or alternatively, a combination of enzymes including amylase, 1-4 mannosidase, and 1-3 mannosidase may be used to break down cell walls of the oleaginous microorganisms. Residual broth water may be recycled and used as imbibition water for washing a process feedstock to extract sugar.
