Claims100
An oil composition comprising
- a free fatty acid content of no greater than 5% w/w based on the total weight of the composition;
- an iodine value of not greater than 125;
- and
- a combined moisture and insoluble content of no greater than 1% w/w based on the total weight of the composition.
A method of recovering an oil composition from a fermentation process comprising the steps of
- fermenting a starch composition to form a fermented product;
- separating an oil fraction from the fermented product, wherein the oil fraction contains the oil composition;
- adjusting the pH of the oil fraction;
- and
- recovering the oil composition from the pH adjusted oil fraction.
The method of 45, wherein the alpha-amylase and glucoamylase is included at an activity ratio of at least 0.35 AFAU/AGU to produce dextrins and glucose.
An article of manufacture comprising an oil composition, wherein the oil composition comprises a free fatty acid content of no greater than 5% w/w based on the total weight of the oil composition.
A fuel composition comprising an oil composition, wherein the oil composition comprises a free fatty acid content of no greater than 5% w/w based on the total weight of the composition.
A fuel additive comprising an oil composition, wherein the oil composition comprises a free fatty acid content of no greater than 5% w/w based on the total weight of the composition.
