Claims13
A first emulsion composition comprising:
- an emulsifier in the form of a second emulsion, wherein the emulsifier includes protein with at least a non-germ protein and grain oil, and wherein the emulsifier is a by-product of a biorefinery process;
- a first substance selected from the group consisting of asphalt, paint, livestock feed, agrochemical, lubricant, ink, defoaming agent, and industrial coating;
- and
- a second substance selected from the group consisting of water, solvent, and non-polar liquid;
- and
- wherein the second emulsion includes less than 10% protein by weight, about 30% to about 60% grain oil by weight, and about 40 to about 60 percent water by weight.
3 more elements
An emulsion composition comprising:
- an emulsifier in the form of a dried emulsion product, wherein the emulsifier includes protein with at least a non-germ protein and grain oil, and wherein the emulsifier is a by-product of a biorefinery process;
- a first substance selected from the group consisting of asphalt, paint, livestock feed, agrochemical, lubricant, ink, defoaming agent, and industrial coating;
- and
- a second substance selected from the group consisting of water, solvent, and non-polar liquid;
- and
- wherein the dried emulsion product includes about 2% to about 15% protein by weight, about 60% to about 85% grain oil by weight, and about 0.5% to about 10% water by weight.
3 more elements
An emulsion composition comprising:
- an emulsifier in the form of a defatted emulsion, wherein the emulsifier includes protein with at least a non-germ protein and grain oil, and wherein the emulsifier is a by-product of a biorefinery process;
- a first substance selected from the group consisting of asphalt, paint, livestock feed, agrochemical, lubricant, ink, defoaming agent, and industrial coating;
- and
- a second substance selected from the group consisting of water, solvent, and non-polar liquid;
- and
- wherein the defatted emulsion includes about 2% to about 10% protein by weight, about 5% to about 20% grain oil by weight, about 60% to about 90% water by weight.
3 more elements
An emulsion composition comprising:
- an emulsifier in the form of a dried defatted emulsion product, wherein the emulsifier includes protein with at least a non-germ protein and grain oil, and wherein the emulsifier is a by-product of a biorefinery process;
- a first substance selected from the group consisting of asphalt, paint, livestock feed, agrochemical, lubricant, ink, defoaming agent, and industrial coating;
- and
- a second substance selected from the group consisting of water, solvent, and non-polar liquid;
- and
- wherein the dried defatted emulsion product includes about 10% to about 40% protein on a dry weight basis;
- about 20% to about 45% grain oil on a dry weight basis, and a moisture content of less than about 15% by weight.
4 more elements
An emulsion composition comprising:
- an emulsifier in the form of a dried defatted emulsion precipitate product, wherein the emulsifier includes protein with at least a non-germ protein and grain oil, and wherein the emulsifier is a by-product of a biorefinery process;
- a first substance selected from the group consisting of asphalt, paint, livestock feed, agrochemical, lubricant, ink, defoaming agent, and industrial coating;
- and
- a second substance selected from the group consisting of water, solvent, and non-polar liquid;
- and
- wherein the dried defatted emulsion precipitate product includes about 30% to about 60% protein on a dry weight basis, about 20% to about 40% grain oil on a dry weight basis, and a moisture content of about 0.5% to about 15% by weight.
