20090112007 - Solid catalyst system for biodiesel production: The invention provides efficient, inexpensive, and environmental friendly catalysts and catalyst systems. The catalysts can be used to catalyze esterification and/or transesterification reactions, for example, for the preparation of biodiesel. Kiln dust, such as cement kiln dust (CKD) or lime kiln dust (LKD) can be used to convert a variety... Agent: Schwegman, Lundberg & Woessner, P.A.

20090112008 - Methods and compositions for refining lipid feed stocks: The present invention relates to systems and methods of using fatty acid alkyl ester solutions to refine feed stocks before converting the feed stocks into fatty acid fatty acid alkyl esters. In an embodiment, the invention includes a method for producing fatty acid alkyl esters. The method can include mixing... Agent: Pauly, Devries Smith & Deffner, L.L.C.

20090105492 - Process for producing alkyl fatty esters: Disclosed is a process for producing alkyl fatty esters from fats/oils and C1 to C5 lower alcohols by a multistage reaction process, which includes feeding fats and oils to a reactor at an upper stage and then sent to a stage at the downstream side while feeding lower alcohols to... Agent: Oblon, Spivak, Mcclelland Maier & Neustadt, P.C.

20090099377 - Production of increased oil and protein in plants by the disruption of the phenylpropanoid pathway: The present invention provides methods and compositions relating to generating plants having increased levels of oil and protein. This invention further provides recombinant expression cassettes, host cells, transgenic plants and genetically altered plants. The invention further provides isolated polynucleotides and their encoded proteins that are involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis.... Agent: Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP

20090099378 - Generation of plants with altered oil content: The present invention is directed to plants that display an altered oil content phenotype due to altered expression of ICL nucleic acid. The invention is further directed to methods of generating plants with an altered oil content phenotype.... Agent: Klarquist Sparkman, LLP

20090099379 - Extraction and winterization of lipids from oilseed and microbial sources: A process for purifying a lipid composition having predominantly neutral lipid components having at least one long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid is disclosed. The process employs contacting the lipid composition with a polar solvent, such as acetone, wherein the solvent is selected such that contaminants are less soluble in the... Agent: Sheridan Ross PC

20090099380 - Fatty acid alkyl ester production from oleaginous seeds: A process is described for producing fatty acid alkyl esters for both diesel fuel and non-fuel uses. The feed material includes whole oleaginous seeds slurried in a liquid triglyceride oil containing at least two weight percent free fatty acid, wherein oil from inside the seeds is first extracted with concurrent... Agent: James Ray & Associates

20090093647 - Process for producing n,n-dialkyl substituted fatty acids amides: Disclosed herein is a process for producing Dialkyl substituted fatty acids amides. More particularly the present invention provides a process for producing pure form of N,N-dimethylamide of aliphatic carboxylic acids, wherein the aliphatic carboxylic acid is Octanoic Acid and Hexanoic Acid. The disclosed process comprises condensing Alkanoyl Chloride with dilute... Agent: Workman Nydegger 1000 Eagle Gate Tower

20090093648 - Soapstock treatment: A method for the recovery of fatty acids comprising a salt of the fatty acid is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: (a) reacting the salt of the fatty acid with CO2 and with a reagent other than hydroxide and selected from a group of compounds carrying at least...
