Patent number: 8828447Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for the isolation of a phospholipid and for producing a polyunsaturated, long-chain fatty acids (PUFA)-enriched fraction from a fish oil comprising the steps of —providing a fish oil containing lipids and phospholipids; —mixing the fish oil with a polar solvent; —centrifuging the mixture of the fish oil and the polar solvent to separate a polar fraction from a lipid fraction; —isolating a phospholipid from the polar fraction or isolating a PUFA-enriched fraction from the polar fraction. The fish oil may be provided by —extracting a fish material with an extractant solvent; —removing the extractant solvent to provide the fish oil; —optionally subjecting the fish oil to a solid-liquid separation. The isolated phospholipids and PUFA's may be used as additives for functional foods, as a dietary supplement and for pharmaceutical application.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Polar Amega A/SInventors: Hans Otto Soerensen, Nils Christian Jensen

Patent number: 8795703Abstract: A stand-alone film is derived at least in part from fatty acids. The stand-alone film can have anti-adhesive, anti-inflammatory, non-inflammatory, and wound healing properties, and can additionally include one or more therapeutic agents incorporated therein. Corresponding methods of making the stand-alone film include molding, casting, or otherwise applying a liquid or gel to a substrate, and curing or otherwise treating to form the stand-alone film. The resulting stand-alone film is bioabsorbable.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2005Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Atrium Medical CorporationInventors: Thomas M.
