Abstract of US Patent 6,547,987 - Solvent and method for extraction of triglyceride rich oil: The present invention relates to a solvent for use in extracting oil from an oil bearing material, such as soybeans, with the solvent resulting in the selective extraction of a triglyceride rich oil, which contains 95% or greater triglycerides and non-polar constituents, with the solvent comprised of a hydrocarbon, preferably hexane, and a fluorocarbon, so that the solvent has a viscosity less than 2.6 centipoise and a polarity of less than 0.1. The present invention also relates to a method of using the solvent to extract the triglyceride rich oil, with the method including preferably extracting the oil at a temperature ranging between 35 C. and 55 C., and then preferably cooling resulting miscella to a temperature ranging between 15 C. and 25 C. Also see US Patents 6,793,951 and 6,800,318.Non-confidential Abstract of Invention: The present invention relates to a method and solvent for use in extracting oil from oil bearing materials, preferably in triglyceride rich oil is selectively extracted from the oil bearing material. More preferably, the present invention relates to a solvent, comprised of a hydrocarbon and a fluorocarbon, and a method that will preferably remove an amount of oil comprised of greater than 95% by weight triglycerides and other non-polar constituents from an oil bearing material, such as a soybean material.
