Abstract: A vacuum refining furnace, including a furnace body, a graphite heater, an electrode, and a sealed furnace housing. The furnace body includes an evaporation laminate, a graphite condensing casing, and a graphite insulating casing. The evaporation laminate includes a plurality of evaporators. The evaporation laminate is nested within the graphite insulating casing, and the graphite insulating casing includes a plurality of through holes. At least two graphite condensing casings having different diameters are provided. The graphite insulating casing is nested within the graphite condensing casing having a smallest diameter, and the graphite condensing casing having a relatively small diameter is nested within the graphite condensing casing having a relatively large diameter. All the graphite condensing casings except for the graphite condensing casing having the largest diameter include a plurality of through holes.

Abstract: A method for preparing functional edible oil rich in phytosterol esters and diglycerides includes steps of: 1) adding phytosterol, triglyceride and a molecular sieve into a reactor, wherein a ratio of the phytosterol and the triglyceride is 1:2-1:6, a molecular sieve amount is 50 g/L; heating to 45-60° C., stirring and ultrasonically treating for 30-60 min; 2) adding 5-20g/L lipase, 100-200 ppm antioxidant, stirring and reacting for 8-12 h with a temperature of 45-60° C. and an atmospheric pressure, stopping heating and naturally cooling to a room temperature; and 3) after reaction, removing the lipase and the molecular sieve by centrifugation, for obtaining the functional edible oil rich in the phytosterol esters and the diglycerides. Products of the present invention do not need separation and purification, and operation is simple.

Abstract: The present invention provides for the generation and maintenance of pluripotent cells by culturing the cells in the presence of an ALK5 inhibitor.
