A frying oil is described which produces fried foods exhibiting a highly preferred flavor profile and flavor stability over the life of the oil. The invention includes a beef tallow fraction containing an effective amount of beef tallow stearin fraction and an effective amount of beef tallow volatiles such that upon heating is produced a flavor profile which is highly preferred in fried foods.

Polylactic acid is produced from dimers of lactic acid in an energy saving manner by contacting a lactic acid source via an extraction membrane with an amine carrier solvent to extract lactic acid across the membrane. One or two membranes may be used. After extraction, the aminium lactate salt is crystallized, disassociated and purified.

A process for the continuous removal of cholesterol from a feed oil which comprises (a) wet milling a raw oil having an elevated cholesterol level with an extraction oil whereby there is formed a mixture of the raw oil and extraction oil; (b) centrifuging said mixture to yield a first fraction low in cholesterol, said first fraction being suited for incorporation into a foodstuff, and a second fraction which is an oil feed having a high level of cholesterol; (c) introducing said oil feed at a temperature of at least about 400. degree. F. at an upper portion of a countercurrent thin-film steam stripper while simultaneously introducing steam at a lower portion thereof, wherein said countercurrent thin film steam stripper is internally configured with sufficient active surface area so that it is capable under appropriate operating flow conditions of temperature, pressure and steam flow rates to remove at least 65% cholesterol from a cholesterol containing oil, said countercurrent thin-film steam stripper being continuously maintained at a pressure of at least about 1 mmHg and a temperature of at least about 400. degree. F. , whereby there is produced a two phase exit flow therefrom comprising a liquid phase containing oil with reduced level of cholesterol and a vapor phase rich in cholesterol; (d) and recycling said liquid phase as an extraction oil for said wet milling.

A scalable technology for purifying ethanol, wherein the vaporization of ethanol is coupled with a chromatographic rectification process comprising feeding a vaporized ethanol/water mix onto a plurality of molecular sieve beds to produce dehydrated ethanol vapor, which can then be condensed to recover purified dehydrated ethanol liquid. The scalable technology process is suitable for farm-scale production of fuel-grade ethanol, having the added benefit of allowing wet distillers grains to be used on-site as live-stock feed. By reducing energy requirements, costs and pollution, the output can be scaled to produce fuel-grade ethanol at quantities of anywhere from about 1000 gallons per year to upwards of hundreds of millions of gallons per year. Particularly beneficial versions utilize a plurality of smaller molecular sieve beds in series and use heat generated during desorption and regeneration of the molecular sieve beds as an energy source to aid in the vaporization step.

An energy-efficient cycle for the production of ethanol and optionally natural gas from sunlight and biomass comprising first producing or obtaining biomass, for example by planting and harvesting of either an annual or perennial crop or both, and optionally tilling, fertilizing and obtaining wood wastes or paper wastes on-site or from a secondary site, for example, to supplement the on-site production of biomass, or for use as the sole source of biomass. The biomass is then converted to fermentable sugars through enzymatic conversion, acid hydrolysis, thermal cracking, or other processes that reduce cellulosic and hemi-cellulosic compounds to simple sugars. The reduced product is then fermented, producing ethanol in an intermediate beer product followed by recovery of ethanol from the resulting fermentation beer, wherein liquids are concentrated and recovered as fuel grade product. Recovery of ethanol may be by any suitable means including distillation, membrane separation or similar methods, and chromatographic rectification

Processes for microbial digestion of organic material, and preparation of substrates for microbial digestion, suitable for the production of biomethane, from municipal and industrial waste water or from municipal or agricultural waste. In addition, a method for identifying a composition of matter that is suitable for microbial digestion, more particularly anaerobic digestion and/or mixed aerobic and anaerobic digestion. Also, a system and process for detoxifying organic wastes, such as those which may be present in waste water from industrial processes.

A continuous, high efficiency process for reducing sterol content in triglyceride oil by the steps providing a shell containing a support surface. The shell further includes an oil inlet of triglyceride oil and an oil outlet receiving oil from the second end of the support surface, as well as a steam inlet, a steam outlet and an upward directed steam flow. The triglyceride oil is driven upward on the support surface with the upward directed steam flow as a rising turbulent film. Then, the sterol is allowed to transfer from the rising turbulent film of triglyceride oil to the flow of steam. Preferably, the support surface is a tube or tubes which are vertically oriented. The triglyceride oil from the process has a sterol content below about 0.030% or even below about 0.018%.

This document discusses, among other things, a mobile biogas processing system that includes a mobile platform, a compressor physically coupled to the mobile platform, a pump physically coupled to the mobile platform and having a water input and a water output, and scrubber tower physically coupled to the mobile platform and having input connected to the compressor and water pump. In examples, the mobile platform is a skid or a combination of skids, a trailer, or a shipping container. An example method of using a mobile biogas processing system includes coupling a first biogas compressor, first scrubber, second scrubber, and flash tank to a mobile platform and delivering the platform and system components to a biogas site. In an example, the system includes its own water supply and burns biogas or crude methane to power pumps, compressors, and other components.

Cholesterol-reduced animal fat and vegetable oil are combined to form oxidation resistant blends. Such blends exhibit oxidative stabilities which exceed that of either component alone. In addition, these blends exhibit serum cholesterol lowering effects in mammals.
