  • Patent number: 8383172
    Abstract: Methods for separation and recovery of individual cyclic peptides from plant materials, said method comprising the steps of: (a) extracting an oil from a plant material; (b) separating the extracted oil into a non-polar fraction and a polar fraction; (c) separation and recovery of cyclic peptides from the non-polar fraction, and (d) separation and recovery of cyclic peptides from the polar fraction. The methods are suitable for separation and recovery of individual cyclolinopeptides from flax seed oil. Individual cyclolinopeptides are useful for modulation physiological disorders associated with apoptosis. Modified flaxseed oils may be produced by commingling flaxseed oils absent cyclolinopeptides, with at least one cyclolinopeptide separated and recovered with the methods disclosed herein.
