Abstract:
Methods for producing oil from distillers corn oil having high free fatty acid content are provided. In the method, distiller's corn oil is treated with a mixture including an alcohol to result in a low-free fatty acid oily phase and an alcohol phase. The mixture may also include an alkali. The alcohol may be a monohydric alcohol and an aqueous alcohol, such as an aqueous alcohol having a concentration of at least about 15% alcohol-by-weight. The low-free fatty acid phase may include oil and at least one impurity. The low-free fatty acid phase may be cooled, and the oil may be separated from the at least one impurity.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of producing oil comprising:\n treating fats and oils having a high free fatty acid content with a mixture comprising a monohydric alcohol having a concentration of at least about 15% alcohol by weight and an alkali to form a low-free fatty acid oily phase and an alcohol phase wherein said monohydric alcohol is a solvent; said low free-fatty acid oily phase comprising oil and at least one impurity, said at least one impurity selected from the group consisting of free fatty acid soaps, waxes, unsaponifiables, and combinations thereof; and separating said oil and said at least one impurity.
