Also, its tocopherols composition was determined. This oil is obtained as a by-product of corn alcohol production on an industrial scale and is currently used as a raw material in the biodiesel industry.

The present study investigated the processes of urea complexation (UC) and molecular distillation (MD) to determine the most adequate operation conditions for each process, separately and together, aiming to obtain highly concentrated EPA, DPA and DHA ethyl esters with chemical indicator values permitted by the current legislation for edible oils.
Results: In the second stage of MD, a concentration of 820.
Background: Anhydrous milk fat (AMF) is a valuable ingredient in several industries, but its cholesterol content is a disadvantage because it is associated with several diseases. The objective of this study was to remove the largest possible amount of cholesterol from AMF by molecular distillation and to analyze the sensory properties of the obtained product. AMF was subjected to various molecular distillation arrangements.

MD fractions were prepared in a series of low-pressure stages where rosemary essential oil was the first feed. Subsequently, a distillate (D1) and residue (R1) were obtained and the residue fraction from the previous stage used as the feed for the next.
