More specifically, the present invention relates to functional avocado oil with enhanced antioxidative activities using avocado seeds to be discarded, and a production method thereof. To this end, the functional avocado oil is prepared by adding an avocado seed extract to avocado oil. |
| 4 | CN 106,819,206 | Method for making avocado tea | The invention discloses a method for making avocado tea. The avocado tea comprises the following raw materials: avocado and green tea leaves. The method comprises the following steps: processing the raw materials, peeling the materials, removing seeds, slicing the raw materials, scenting the materials, and drying the materials to obtain the product. The method has the beneficial effect that through a series of tea making processes, the nutrient composition of the avocado is added in the tea and is combined with tea fragrance, mouthfeel is increased, and the avocado tea has high nutrition value. |
| 5 | US 7,678,396 | Method of obtaining avocado powder | The invention relates to avocado powder and to the method of obtaining the same. Avocado powder is a novel product which enables the avocado to be preserved for an extended period of time at ambient temperature, such as to conserve the characteristic properties of the product, with the additional advantage of being 100% natural and occupying less physical storage space, thereby eliminating the post-processing cold chain. The method of obtaining avocado powder comprises a series of operations or steps that terminate in the pulverization and packing of the end product. |
| 6 | WO 2006/0,004,388 | Method of obtaining extra-virgin oil from avocado pulp and a residual paste that is low in calories, which causes less environmental pollution | The invention relates to a method of obtaining extra-virgin oil from avocado pulp, comprising the development of a technology that can be used to obtain high-quality oil without the use of solvents and/or chemical reagents, thereby preventing the production of waste water with high oxygen demand and optimising energy expenditure. The oil thus produced has a high concentration of vitamin E, phytosterols, luteins and chlorophylls. The oil is obtained from avocado pulp, said pulp being heated with microwaves and, subsequently, subjected to squeezing, chilled storage and centrifugation. In addition, owing to the low moisture content of the residual paste obtained following extraction of the extra-virgin oil using the aforementioned technology, it does not require refrigeration, is heat stable and can be used as a base for the preparation of dips, seasonings, sauces, creams, etc. Moreover, there is no contact with the oil from the seed and the compounds of the skin that can contaminate the extra-virgin oil extracted from the pulp. Furthermore, the peroxide, acidity and trans fatty acid values fall within the international standards for edible oils. |
| 7 | MX 2015/017,118 | Obtaining corrosion inhibitors from the use of avocado waste | The present disclosure is related to the discovery of an integral and useful application of avocado waste, including in an integral manner: shells, pulp and seeds for the production of high efficiency corrosion inhibitors by extracting the avocado oil from said waste and its chemical processing. Technically, the oil extraction from the avocado waste can be performed by known processes, typically involving dehydration at medium temperatures, Soxhlet extractors, solvents, mechanical pressing, cold pressing, or spinning. Oil transformation into corrosion inhibitors can be accomplished using typically known processes such as the KOH catalyzed transesterification, aminolysis at temperatures between 140-145°C with amines such as aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA), or polyamines such as diethylenetriamine (DETA), Aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA), Ethylenediamine (EDA), or triethylenetetramine (TETA), and pressure heating. A peculiar element of this invention consists in the identification of the par ticular characteristics of the fatty acids contained in the non-edible crude avocado oil, involving more than 80% of unsaturation in the molecular structure of the alkyl chain of triglycerides. This peculiar characteristic of the avocado oil confers to the amides and imidazolines mixture, a greater efficiency as corrosion inhibitors due to the superior adhesion to the metal surfaces, derived of the interaction of the unsaturation of the P electrons with the electrons in the metal surface (FIG. 3). The present invention represents a useful solution for the significant reduction of the avocado harvest in the agricultural fields, as well as an additional reduction percentage in the transport distribution and commercialization processes due to the highly perishable nature of the product. The corrosion inhibitors produced by this invention are applicable in the preservation of the operational integrity of pipelines, tanks and other industrial facilities that involve the use and handling of hydrocarbons in their liquid or gaseous state. |
| 8 | US 8,501,663 | Process for obtaining an adsorbent from avocado waste and use of the adsorbent | A procedure of obtaining adsorbent from a waste material and its use are disclosed. This invention provides a natural waste material, specifically avocado seed, its preparation and use for the filling of columns used in the elimination of contaminants present in wastewater. The particles have an irregular shape and variable size for filling columns of different diameter and length. The adsorbent has sufficient hardness for avoiding a particle collapse. The material does not rot, is re-generable and ecological. In the present invention the preparation of the adsorbent, its pre-activation, carbonization and application to eliminate the color of textile wastewater is disclosed. The color elimination from textile wastewater, as well as decrease of salts, total suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC), is carried out passing the textile wastewater through a column filled with the prepared adsorbent. In batch systems metals dissolved in water can be eliminated. |
| 9 | WO 2017/0,203,453 | Solid avocado compositions and production method | The invention relates to a method for producing avocado-based solid compositions having a high content of total solids coming from the avocado fruit, in addition to a high nutritional value, and being safe from a microbiological perspective, as well as having the colour, flavour and scent of the avocado pulp itself. The produced solid compositions are useful for the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical sector. |
| 10 | US 9,416,333 | Use of avocado pit for obtaining an avocado oil enriched with alkyl polyols and/or acetylated derivatives thereof | The present invention relates to the use of avocado seeds in order to obtain avocado oil enriched in alkyl polyols and/or acetylated derivatives thereof, said avocado seeds accounting for 10 to 50% by weight relative to the total weight of avocado used. The invention also relates to a method for obtaining avocado oil enriched in alkyl polyols or acetylated derivatives thereof from at least avocado seeds, said avocado seeds accounting for 10 to 50% by weight relative to the total weight of avocado used. The invention also relates to avocado oil enriched in alkyl polyols and/or acetylated derivatives thereof, obtainable by the present method. The invention also relates to the use of avocado oil in order to prepare an avocado oil concentrate enriched in alkyl polyols and/or acetylated derivatives thereof, or to prepare an avocado unsaponifiable enriched in alkyl polyols. Lastly, the invention relates to an avocado unsaponifiable enriched in alkyl polyols or an avocado oil concentrate enriched in alkyl polyols and/or acetylated derivatives thereof, obtainable from said avocado oil, for use as a drug, advantageously in the prevention and/or treatment of conjunctive tissue disorders such as arthrosis, articular pathologies such as rheumatism, or periodontal diseases such as gingivitis or periodontitis. |
