  • Calcium salt saponification of polyunsaturated oils
    Patent number: 7098352
    Abstract: Methods for the preparation of storage-stable fatty acid calcium salt products by forming a reactive admixture of (a) an unsaturated fatty acid glyceride feedstock; and (b) from about 10% to about 30% of the total admixture weight of calcium hydroxide; and heating the admixture to a temperature at which the fatty acid glycerides saponify to form fatty acid calcium salts in an atmosphere in which the partial pressure of oxygen has been reduced by an amount effective to provide an improvement in storage stability. Storage stable calcium salts of unsaturated fatty acids prepared by the inventive method are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Rumen bypass calcium salts of C18:1 and C18:2 fatty acids
    Patent number: 6924382
    Abstract: Free-flowing unsaturated fatty acid calcium salts containing from about 0.1 to about 1.5 equivalents of calcium hydroxide relative to the fatty acid content, with the fatty acid content consisting essentially of (a) from about 40 to about 95% percent by weight of unsaturated C:16-C:22 fatty acids; (b) from about 5 to about 60% by weight of saturated C:14-C:22 fatty acids; and (c) no more than about 6% by weight of moisture, insolubles and unsaponifiables; with no more than about 20% by weight being in for form of glycerides; wherein from about 40 to about 65% by weight of the total product weight consists of trans-C18:1 and C18:2 fatty acids; provided that when less than 0.75 equivalents of calcium hydroxide is present, the fatty acid content is at least 25% by weight saturated fatty acids.
