Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of combined cell digestion and extraction of oil-containing seeds having an oil content of >30% by mass, wherein production of a slurry from the oilseeds and ethanol is followed by a combination cell digestion with a subsequent ethanolic extraction, wherein the smaller portion of the oil of the oilseed and the alcohol-soluble constituents present therein are dissolved in the ethanol in accordance with the dissolution capacity of the ethanol for the oil and the alcohol-soluble constituents, a greater portion of the oil is displaced from the seed cells by the ethanol, forming a free oil phase in the ethanol. The free oil phase is removed and, according to the invention, has semi-raffinate quality, reducing the complexity of refining as an advantage of the method of the invention.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for a combined cell digestion and extraction of oil-containing seeds, comprising the following steps:\n producing a mash from seed cells of an oilseed and ethanol as solvent, said oilseed having an oil content of \u226530 mass %, digesting the seed cells of the oilseed in ethanol by mechanical means to an average particle size of \u226450 \u03bcm, and combining it with a subsequent ethanol extraction, wherein during said ethanol extraction a smaller portion of oil in the seed cells of the oilseed and alcohol soluble constituents dissolve into the ethanol to form a liquid miscella phase, and a larger portion of the oil from the seed cells is being displaced by ethanol to form a free oil phase within the ethanol; fractionation of the miscella by separating the free oil phase and the oil dissolved in the ethanol and separating the alcohol soluble constituents from the ethanol, wherein the free oil phase includes a portion of phosphatides of \u22640.1, and a portion of free fatty acids of \u22640.5, separating a remaining extraction residue after extraction and removal of residual ethanol from the extraction residue in vacuum at a temperature of \u226490\u00b0 C. and a pressure of \u2264500 mbar, wherein cell digestion and extraction is carried out in a defined mass-ratio of oilseed to ethanol of 1:3 to 1:8, wherein the free oil is present as a separate liquid phase and obtained without distillation.
