FRACTIONATED VEGETABLE OIL

摘要

A new method for producing fractionated vegetable oil from a plant material, wherein the plant material is extracted with a non-polar solvent and the solvent is evaporated giving a crude oil comprising non-polar and polar lipids, which is characterized in that the crude oil is mixed with an alcohol at a controlled temperature, the alcoholic phase is separated and evaporated and a polar lipid rich fractionated vegetable oil is obtained. The invention also refers to the use of the polar lipid rich fractionated vegetable oil as a surface active agent.
