A process for producing a solid material comprising isomaltulose crystals and trehalulose, including: A) contacting an enzyme complex with a sucrose-containing solution; B) isomerizing at least a part of the sucrose to isomaltulose and trehalulose; C) separating off the enzyme complex to obatin a solution including isomaltulose, trehalulose and water; D) partially removing the water by evaporation to obtain a concentrated solution; E) bringing the concentrated solution to a temperature range of 30&#xb0; C. to 63&#xb0; C. and subsequently inducing isomaltulose crystallization in this temperature range followed by cooling, thereby obtaining a solid material including isomaltulose crystals and trehalulose.

A microbial cell is used for producing at least one fatty acid ester, wherein the cell is genetically modified to contain (i) at least one first genetic mutation that enables the cell to produce at least one fatty acid and/or acyl coenzyme A (CoA) thereof by increased enzymatic activity in the cell relative to the wild type cell of malonyl-CoA dependent and malonyl-ACP independent fatty acyl-CoA metabolic pathway, wherein the fatty acid contains at least 5 carbon atoms; and (ii) a second genetic mutation that increases the activity of at least one wax ester synthase in the cell relative to the wild type cell and the wax ester synthase has sequence identity of at least 50% to a polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 1-8 and combinations thereof or to a functional fragment of any of the polypeptides for catalyzing the conversion of fatty acid and/or acyl coenzyme A thereof to the fatty acid ester.

A process which can extract a fatty acid from a triglyceride oil includes (a) contacting a triglyceride oil Tmade of a fatty acid with an aqueous solution Wmade of a quaternary ammonium salt and an aliphatic diol having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, where a triglyceride oil phase Tand an aqueous phase Ware obtained, where Thas a reduced content of fatty acids compared to Tand Whas an increased content of fatty acids compared to W; and (b) separating the triglyceride oil phase Tfrom the aqueous phase W. The quaternary ammonium salt includes a quaternary ammonium cation and a basic anion selected among hydroxide, alkoxide, alkyl carbonate, hydrogen carbonate, carbonate, serinate, prolinate, histidinate, threoninate, valinate, aspartate, taurinate, and lysinate.
