A process for the producing edible protein-containing meal for human and animal consumption and high quality food grade oils from oil seed using iodotrifluoromathane as the solvent is shown. The meal has a significantly improved level of dietary available (absorbable) protein. The process involves the preparation of protein isolates by a procedure which is conducted at room temperature, thus decreases protein degradation and denaturing which is caused by elevated temperatures. The process also provides for extraction of substantially all oils and fats, which interfere with the formation of the protein micelle, from the protein meal providing a cleaner, purer product with high levels of absorbable protein. Such protein isolates can then be used as such or added to formulated foods in order to increase the total protein content of that food. The protein produced and the oils recovered have compositions which are also unique and unobtainable by prior processing methods.

The present invention refers to a process to produce biodiesel and / or fuel oil from microbial oilseed and / or algal biomass and / or from sugar cane residues and derivatives. The products according to the present invention are appropriate for direct use in motors and to generate energy or steam. The integrated process of the present invention comprises the use, as raw materials, of microbial oil-producing biomass obtained from sugar cane residues and derivatives, which is integrated with algal biomass and / or glycerol and are processed by steps of production of oil-producing microbial biomass from filamentous fungi and / or yeasts, steps of simultaneous production of algal biomass by fully using residues, CO2 and residual broth of said production of microbial biomass, as well as steps of extraction and transesterification of lipids contained in the biomass, with reuse of the residual glycerol thus produced. The process as disclosed deals with innovative and ecologically sustainable technology, not generating any kind of residue, also providing for the advantage of releasing considerable volumes of oxygen into the atmosphere.

Crushed and de-fatted oilseed is extracted with water at neutral, mildly basic or mildly acidic pH; and is filtered. The filter media allows passage of small fragments of solid cell meat into the filtrate. The filtrate is treated with a base to increase pH to over pH 9, and solids are separated out. Protein is separated from other constituents of the liquid and concentrated, for example by heat-induced or isoelectric precipitation and / or ultrafiltration. The remaining liquid is rich in sugars. The process results in one or more protein products suited for human or animal food ingredients or for production of cosmetics, a sugar rich product suitable for fermentation or use as a feed ingredient, and a fiber-protein animal feed ingredient.

Generally, a method of pressure regulated supercritical fluid fractionation of oil seed extraction materials which can be utilized to refine oil seed extraction material established in an amount of supercritical fluid. Specifically, a method of pressure regulated supercritical fluid fractionation of corn germ extraction material to produce a refined corn oil extraction material.

Canola oil seeds are treated for the production of a canola oil seed meal for recovery of canola protein isolates therefrom. The canola oil seeds are heat-treated to inactivate myrosinases and other enzymes and dehulled prior to crushing dehulled canola oil seeds and removing oil therefrom and to provide the canola oil seed meal.

The present invention pertains to the field of nutrition and in particular a food product formulation based on protein and other nutrients extracted from oil seeds, such as hemp, for a plurality of uses, including, but not limited to an infant or toddler formula, a beverage, baked goods or a protein supplement. Suitable oil seeds include, but are not limited to hemp, flax, chia, pea and spirulina. Accordingly, the present invention provides a food product formulation for human consumption that can provide a complete source of dietary protein and other nutrients through oil seed protein. The formulation may be prepared in a variety of product forms, including but not limited to, a ready-to-serve liquid form, or a powder form that can be reconstituted prior to human consumption into liquid form, or a powder form that can be added to oilier ingredients to produce a baked product for human consumption, or a protein supplement.

Flax protein isolates are obtained in a procedure in which flax oil seeds are initially extracted to remove mucilage therefrom prior to crushing to recover the oil and produce a meal. The flax protein meal then is processed to recover a flax protein isolate therefrom.

In the recovery of canola protein isolates from canola oil seeds steps are taken to inhibit the formation of colouring components and to reduce the presence of materials tending to form colouring components, to obtain a lighter and less yellow canola protein isolate.
