Appeal No. 95-2633
Application 08/121,663
14. A parenteral formulation including a purified olive oil product obtained by
a method comprising:
providing an olive oil sample to be purified having a previously determined
oleic acid content;
neutralizing the oleic acid present in the oil by contacting the oil sample
with an amount of a saturated aqueous solution of alkaline carbonate equivalent to
two to ten times the weight of oleic acid present in the oil sample, allowing an
aqueous phase to separate and washing the oil with water until complete neutrality
to provide a neutralized oil sample; and
drying and decolouring the neutralized oil sample by contacting the
neutralized oil sample with bleaching earth under an inert atmosphere at a
temperature of between about 20°C to about 80°C to provide a purified oil
product having an acceptably low amount of peroxides, free acids and pigments
for parenteral and nutritional administration.
15. An enteral formulation including a purified olive oil product obtained by a
method comprising:
providing an olive oil sample to be purified having a previously determined
oleic acid content;
neutralizing the oleic acid present in the oil by contacting the oil sample
with an amount of a saturated aqueous solution of alkaline carbonate equivalent to
two to ten times the weight of oleic acid present in the oil sample, allowing an
aqueous phase to separate and washing the oil with water until complete neutrality
to provide a neutralized oil sample; and
drying and decolouring the neutralized oil sample by contacting the
neutralized oil sample with bleaching earth under an inert atmosphere at a
temperature of between about 20°C to about 80°C to provide a purified oil
product having an acceptably low amount of peroxides, free acids and pigments
for enteral and nutritional administration.
