  • Solventless extraction process
    Patent number: 10329515
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for extracting lipids from microorganisms without using organic solvent as an extraction solvent. In particular, the present invention provides a method for extracting lipids from microorganisms by lysing cells and removing water soluble compound and/or materials by washing the lysed cell mixtures with aqueous washing solutions until a substantially non-emulsified lipid is obtained.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 25, 2019
    Assignee: DSM IP Assets B.V.
    Inventors: Craig M. Ruecker, Swithwin Patrick Adu-Peasah, Brian S. Engelhardt, George T Veeder, III
