Abstract:
Alfalfa or clover is extracted with an organic solvent to separate lipids and leave a solvent insoluble residue. The solvent insoluble residue is treated with a base and the base soluble and insoluble fractions separated and further processed into human and animal edible products. The lipids may be used as plasticizers in polymers or copolymerized with monomers or polymers.
