Abstract: Methods for reducing the color of phospholipid compositions comprising lecithin are disclosed. The phospholipid composition is exposed to ultraviolet light to reduce the color of the composition. The phospholipid composition may be diluted and/or heated prior to exposure to ultraviolet light to improve the flow properties of the composition. The phospholipid composition may be cooled and/or concentrated after color reduction.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for improved oilseed extraction methods using sequential extractions with polar solvents and non-polar solvents or extractions with an azeotrope of a polar solvent and a non-polar solvent to produce oilseed meal concentrates having increased protein content and reduced soluble carbohydrate and anti-nutritional compound content.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a modified soybean product, such as a modified soybean meal, comprising use of a proteolytic enzyme. The invention further relates to use of a proteolytic enzyme in the production of a feed or feed additive product.

Abstract: A process is proposed for recovery of water in the sugar cane processing in production mills of sugar and alcohol or only alcohol (ethanol).

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing an organo-mineral fertilizer from vinasse, filter cake and generally boiler ashes, as byproducts of the sugar and/or alcohol manufacture and, optionally, complemented with fertilizer sources composed of macronutrients (primary and secondary) and micronutrients. The process comprises, in a preferred form of the invention, the steps of: concentrating the vinasse until about 65% of solids (p/p); mixing and dissolving the fertilizer elements in the concentrated vinasse; mixing and drying the filter cake and ashes in a hot gas stream obtained by burning bagasse or fine straw; impregnating this dry mixture with the concentrated vinasse mixture and the added fertilizer agents; and, finally, drying and granulating the final formulated mixture. The end product is a granular solid containing N, P, K, Ca, S, Mg and micronutrients, according to the previously programmed formulation.

Abstract: A finishing arrangement for a peripheral flange of a cabinet, the flange being formed by two coplanar flange portions (1), orthogonal to each other and separated by a space (2). A finishing element (3) has a midsection that is fitted in the space (2) and has top and bottom parts that are seated against marginal portions of the upper (7) and lower (8) faces of the flange portions (1). The marginal portions of the upper face (7) of the two orthogonal flange portions (1) are recessed by an amount which is substantially equal, but not greater than, the height of the top part (5) of the finishing element (3).
