Abstract

The present invention provides novel emulsion formulations which comprise oil bodies. The invention also provides a method for preparing the emulsions and the use of the emulsions in various domestic and industrial compositions. The emulsions are especially suited for the preparation of food products, personal care products, pharmaceutical products and industrial products.

Claims

1. A fish food preparation coated with an emulsion comprising a washed oil body preparation comprising intact oil bodies.

2. A fish food preparation according to claim 1 wherein said emulsion additionally contains a therapeutic peptide.

3. A fish food preparation according to claim 2 wherein said therapeutic peptide is hormone.

4. A fish food preparation according to claim 1 wherein the emulsion is prepared by a method comprising:

(1) obtaining oil bodies from a cell;

(2) washing the oil bodies to obtain a washed oil body preparation comprising intact oil bodies; and

(3) formulating the washed oil body preparation into an emulsion.

5. A fish food preparation according to claim 1 wherein the emulsion is prepared by a method comprising:

(1) obtaining oil bodies from plant seeds by a method that comprises;

(a) grinding plant seeds;

(b) removing solids from the ground seeds; and

(c) separating the oil body phase from the aqueous phase;

(2) washing the oil body phase to yield a washed oil body preparation comprising intact oil bodies; and

(3) formulating the washed oil body preparation into an emulsion.

6. A fish food preparation according to claim 5 wherein a liquid phase is added prior to or following the grinding step.

7. A fish food preparation according to claim 5 wherein a liquid phase is added to the washed oil bodies and the liquid phase and washed oil bodies are mixed until an emulsion is formed.

8. A fish food preparation according to claim 7 wherein said liquid phase is water.

9. A fish food preparation according to claim 8 wherein said liquid phase is present in the emulsion in an amount varying from about 1% to about 99% v/v.

10. A fish food preparation according to claim 5 wherein said plant is an oil seed plant.

11. A fish food preparation according to claim 5 wherein said plant is selected from the group of plants consisting of rapeseed (Brassica spp.), soybean (Glycine max), sunflower (Helianthus annuus), oil palm (Elaeis guineeis), cottonseed (Gossypium spp.), groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), coconut (Cocus nucifera), castor (Ricinus communis), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), mustard (Brassica spp. and Sinapis alba), coriander, (Coriandrum sativum), squash (Cucurbita maxima), linseed/flax (Linum usitatissimum), Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) and maize (Zea mays).

12. A fish food preparation according to claim 5 wherein said solids are removed by centrifugation or filtration of said ground seeds.

13. A fish food preparation according to claim 5 wherein said oil body phase is separated from said aqueous phase by a gravity based method or a size exclusion based method.

14. A fish food preparation according to claim 5 wherein the washed oil body preparation is essentially free of non-oil body seed proteins, antinutritional compounds, starch, glucosinilates or breakdown products thereof, and fibres.

15. A fish food preparation according to claim 14 in which said seed proteins are glycosylated.

16. A fish food preparation according to claim 5 in which said formulating comprises the addition of a preservative agent.

17. A fish food preparation according to claim 5 in which the seed is immersed in a liquid phase prior to grinding for from approximately 15 minutes to approximately 2 days.
