`
`Supplemental Notice of Allowability
`
`A Notice of Allowance was mailed on 11/6/2014. An examiner’s amendment to
`
`the record was made therein to correct numbering of claims. However, subject matter in
`
`claims 11 (renumbered as claim 9) and 12 (renumbered as claim 10) that was
`
`previously canceled by the applicant in an amendment filed 8/5/2014 inadvertently
`
`appeared therein. A Supplemental Notice of Allowability is therefore issued to correct
`
`the previous Examiner's Amendment to the record.
`
`SUPPLEMENTAL EXAM|NER’S AMENDMENT
`
`An examiner’s amendment to the record appears below. Should the changes
`
`and/or additions be unacceptable to applicant, an amendment may be filed as provided
`
`by 37 CFR 1.312. To ensure consideration of such an amendment, it MUST be
`
`submitted no later than the payment of the issue fee.
`
`The application has been amended as follows:
`
`9. (Currently amended) The method of extracting oil from the byproduct stream of the
`
`bio-based ethanol production process of claim 1, the method further comprising:
`
` drying the
`
`byproduct stream after said oil separating step to produce a distillers dried grains
`
`product suitable for animal feed.
`
`10. (Currently amended) An organic composition produced according to the method of
`
`claim 1, said organic composition comprising oil derived from a byproduct stream of a
`
`bio- based ethanol production process and an
`
`ethoxylated sorbitan ester and—ha>+ing-a

`
`
`
`The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance:
`
`The closest art is Scheimann et al. (US 2007/0210007A1).
`
`Scheimann discloses an emulsion polymer, which is an invertible water-in-oil
`
`polymer emulsion comprising an anionic polymer, a hydrocarbon oil, a water-in-oil
`
`emulsifying agent and potentially an inverting surfactant in separating solids and oil from
`
`an aqueous by-product stream from a bioethanol production process. The water-in-oil
`
`emulsifying agent useful for preparing the emulsion polymers of Scheimann can include
`
`ethoxylated sorbitan esters of fatty acids including polyoxyethylene sorbitan. However,
`
`Scheimann does not teach the application of ethoxylated sorbitan ester by itself as an
`
`oil concentrator in recovering bound oil from a by-product stream from a bio-based
`
`ethanol production process. In Scheimann, the ethoxylated sorbitan ester is
`
`incorporated into an emulsion polymer which also comprises an anionic polymer,
`
`hydrocarbon oil, and potentially an inverting surfactant.
`
`Related art published after the filing date of the instant application, is US
`
`2012/0245370 A1 (published September 27, 2012, now US patent number US
`
`8,841,469 B2 September 13, 2014) which discloses sorbitan esters of fatty acids in
`
`recovering bound oil from stillage.
