Enzyme Degumming

What’s your opinion on alcohols denaturing proteins?

What was the winterizing result as to the color of the crude ?
Darkbrown to green to ???

I’ll post a picture tomorrow of dewaxed crude in ethanol, I put it on the back burner because there’s less terrible starting material to turn into disty.

EDIT: EtOH crude is sitting around -60C, no visible lipids have precipitated

100mL of Crude in 900mL of EtOH:

Looks like the solution requires some more winterization before solvent recovery.
