  • LONG-CHAIN POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACID OIL AND COMPOSITIONS AND PREPARATION PROCESS FOR THE SAME
    Publication number: 20090156694
    Abstract: Stable oil containing long-chain polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in the form of triacylglycerols, in particular arachidonic acid (ARA), dihomogammalinolenic acid (DHGLA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Such an oil may be prepared by bringing a carrier oil into contact with a biomass obtained from the culture of a microorganism, in particular a fungus or a microalga containing the acids ARA, DHGLA, DHA or EPA. These oils can be incorporated into the composition of a foodstuff, of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical product.

  • Process for preparing an oil containing one or more long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from biomass; foodstuff or nutritional, cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition containing it
    Publication number: 20060068076
    Abstract: A stable oil containing LC-PUFAs in the form of triacylglycerols, in particular arachidonic acid (ARA), dihomogammalinolenic acid (DHGLA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), may be prepared by direct pressing of one or more biomasses obtained from the culture of a microorganism, especially of a fungus or of a microalga containing the acids ARA, DHGLA, DHA or EPA leading to a first press oil and by bringing a carrier oil entering into the composition of a foodstuff, a cosmetic or pharmaceutical product, into contact with the biomass cake, followed by pressing leading to a second press oil, and then by combining the pressed oils and refining the mixture under controlled conditions.

  • Coffee aroma emulsion formulations
    Patent number: 5576044
    Abstract: An emulsion preconcentrate which contains hydrolyzed coffee oil and a coffee aroma. The emulsion preconcentrate is mixed with soluble coffee powder to provide a soluble coffee product. Upon dissolution of the soluble coffee product in hot water, the emulsion preconcentrate spontaneously forms an oil-in-water emulsion including droplets in the microemulsion tange; the dispersed oil phase containing the aroma. This provides a burst of aroma.
