Methods for recovery of recyclable water and/or fermentation co-products from thin stillage process streams. Microbial metabolites plant derivatives and/or plant extractives are removed from thin stillage after which water is recovered and recycled. Thin stillage is commingled with polar organic solvents or with oil to react microbial metabolites, plant derivatives and/or plant extractives. The reacted organic solvents are then separated from the processed thin stillage. Thin stillage may be commingled with an oil to re act with certain organic compounds, after which, the reacted oil is separated from the processed thin stillage is further extracted with one or more polar organic solvents. Alternatively, thin stillage may be first processed with one or more polar organic solvents, and then processed with an oil. Useful organic compounds may be recovered from the reacted oil and reacted organic solvents.

Recovery of multiple compounds and recyclable water from thin stillage

The present disclosure relates to fuel additive compositions comprising one or more hydrogen bonding compounds derived from a long chain fatty acid, and one or more esters of a second long chain fatty acid. Such fuel additives improve the lubricity of the fuel.

Methods for separation and recovery of individual cyclic peptides from plant materials, said method comprising the steps of: (a) extracting an oil from a plant material; (b) separating the extracted oil into a non-polar fraction and a polar fraction; (c) separation and recovery of cyclic peptides from the non-polar fraction, and (d) separation and recovery of cyclic peptides from the polar fraction. The methods are suitable for separation and recovery of individual cyclolinopeptides from flax seed oil. Individual cyclolinopeptides are useful for modulation physiological disorders associated with apoptosis. Modified flaxseed oils may be produced by commingling flaxseed oils absent cyclolinopeptides, with at least one cyclolinopeptide separated and recovered with the methods disclosed herein.

Recovery of hydrophobic peptides from oils

Methods for recovery of concentrates of lubricating compounds from vegetable and animal oils, fats and greases that allow separation of triglycerides, from components with higher lubricity or enrichment protocols that increase the concentration of high lubricity compounds in the triglyceride. The triglycerides are transesterified with a lower alcohol to produce alkyl esters. Following the conversion process the esters are separated from high molecular weight high lubricity compounds by distillation. The esters have some lubricity and may be sold as pollution reducing fuel components. The high boiling point compounds that are the residues of distillation, however, can contribute significant lubricity and may be used widely in lubricant applications or added to petroleum fuels to decrease friction.

Methods for simultaneous saponification and quantitative isomerization of glyceride oils containing interrupted double bond systems, with alkali in water to yield soaps with conjugated double bond systems are disclosed. Novel methods of hydrolysis of the soap product with acid to form fatty acid-water emulsions and the breaking of those emulsions are also disclosed. The preferred embodiment uses a vegetable oil rich in linoleic acid such as sunflower or safflower oil, potassium hydroxide, phosphoric acid to neutralize the soaps, and an emulsion breaking compound which can include ethanol or other monohydric alcohol, tannins (either hydrolysable or condensed tannin) or polyethylene glycol. The reaction forms positional and geometric isomers of conjugated linoleic acid and the preferred isomer mixture is controlled by a combination of agitation, precisely controlled heating and rapid initiation and termination of the reaction. The reaction product composition may be enriched by crystallization.

Methods of treating dehulled or hull-less oat, i.e. oat groats, to produce oat pearlings, oat flour and oat bran products are described. Oat groats are abrasion milled to remove up to 15% by weight and produce pearled oat groats and pearlings. The pearlings are extracted sequentially with aqueous ethanol and hexane to produce an anti-irritant and a light oat oil, or with hexane to produce a dark oat oil and lipase. The pearled oat groats are steeped in an aqueous medium for up to 4 hours and then macerated to produce an enriched oat bran, from which an enriched beta glucan may be extracted; a refined oat flour, from which oat starch and oat protein may be extracted; and a pearled oat groat extract from which further products, such as an oat anti-irritant can be recovered.
