Publication number: 20100160658Abstract: Improved system and process for separating the initial portion of liquid solvent from spent oleaginous material after the solvent extraction process and prior to the thermal desolventizing process. Solvent laden solids departing the solvent extraction process are subjected to mechanical pressure to squeeze a portion of the liquid solvent through a perforated surface, into a collection hopper. This liquid solvent is subsequently recycled back to the solvent extraction process for liquid clarification and additional oil recovery.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2006Publication date: June 24, 2010Inventor: Timothy G.

Patent number: 7638643Abstract: It is intended to easily separate saponins from isoflavones extracted from starting soybeans thereby giving highly pure saponins at a high yield on an industrial scale. Saponins can be highly efficiently separated from isoflavones by performing multistage extraction under mild conditions such that malonyl isoflavone glycoside, from among isoflavones contained in the starting soybeans, is not converted into isoflavone glycoside, acetyl isoflavone glycoside or isoflavone aglycon. Thus, highly pure saponins can be obtained at a high yield on an industrial scale.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2003Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Fuji Oil Company, LimitedInventors: Satoshi Wanezaki, Shinichi Tsuzaki, Hideo Araki

Patent number: 6579996Abstract: A method for removing free fatty acids from fats or oils of biological origin or their steam distillates by extracting the free fatty acids with a mixture of basic organic nitrogen compounds and water as an extraction medium at a temperature below the boiling point of the organic nitrogen compounds. The content of the basic organic nitrogen compounds in the extraction medium is 20-30% by weight. In this manner, the formation of a viscous soapstock which is difficult to remove is prevented. The boiling point of the basic organic nitrogen compounds used is the same as or above boiling point of water and below the boiling point of the fatty acids to be extracted in order to enable simple recovery of the extraction medium.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2001Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Inventors: Siegfried Peter, Eckhard Weidner, Martin Drescher, Wolfgang König

Patent number: 6201142Abstract: An efficient process for recovering high quality corn oil from corn germ. The process involves pre-treating corn germ by Rehydration, conditioning and, optionally flaking. This is followed by extrusion, which is the core operation in the preparation of corn germ for corn oil recovery. Water is provided up front in the process, prior to extrusion. Providing water up front reduces generation of fines and improves friction within the extruder, thereby allowing the material to move along and improving overall efficiency and streamlining of the process. The oil released from corn germ by this process is of high quality and high yield.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1997Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: BestfoodsInventor: Aurelia Maza

Patent number: 5278325Abstract: A vegetable oil process and assembly is disclosed for extracting oil from an oil bearing material such as soybean, corn and the like. The process comprises adding at least one reagent to the oil bearing material to form a slurry mixture. The slurry is heated at a preselected temperature for a preselected period of time preferably under a partial vacuum. This processing reduces the phospholipid and trace metal content in the oil extracted from the oil heating material. The oil product produced is light in color, shows no turbidity and exhibits minimal amount of phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and iron. The oil is ready for physical refining.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1990Date of Patent: January 11, 1994Inventors: Hans R. Strop, Richard R. Perry

Patent number: 5241091Abstract: The method of extracting a physiological active substance in which a granular acid polysaccharide is a principal component is disclosed. The husks of the pine nuts are immersed in an alkali solution to proceed an extraction treatment. The obtained extract is filtered and insoluble substances are separated and then remained solution is concentrated and arranged its degree of pH. Thus physiological active substance in which a granular acid polysaccharide is a principal component is extracted through lyophilization treatment. The anti-contagion medicine in which an acid polysaccharide obtained by the extraction method is a principal component provides with an activation function which by far surpasses an activation function of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte of conventional anti-tumor polysaccharides.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1991Date of Patent: August 31, 1993Assignee: Masazumi YoshiharaInventors: Masazumi Yoshihara, Hiroshi Sakagami
