NOVELTY - Demulsifying an emulsion comprises (a) contacting an emulsion with a demulsifying amount of a demulsifying solvent, where the emulsion transforms into at least two distinct phases.    USE - The method is useful for demulsifying an emulsion, which is useful for producing the organic product including a fatty alcohol, a fatty acid, a fatty acid ester, a terpene, a terpenoid, a triglyceride, a carotene, a carotenoid, a beta -lactam, a sterol, a statin, and/or mycophenolicacid, and a mixture of fatty alcohols (all claimed), aromatic odorants, lactones, antibiotics or antifungal compounds, pyrethoids and ketones, where the organic product is useful: in detergent compositions (e.g. laundry detergents in liquid and powder form, hard surface cleaners and dishwashing liquids), industrial compositions (e.g. lubricants, solvents and industrial cleaners), personal care compositions (e.g. soaps, cosmetics, shampoos and gels), and fuel compositions (e.g. biodiesels and petrodiesels); as an emollient in cosmetics; and in lubricating oils and pharmaceuticals. The fuel composition is useful in powering combustion engines e.g. jet fuels and rocket fuels.    ADVANTAGE - The simple method provides organic products from emulsions with high yield in an efficient and cost-effective manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a method-I for purifying an organic product from the emulsion, comprising (a1) adding the demulsifying amount of at least one demulsifying solvent to the emulsion;    (2) a method-II for producing the organic product from the emulsion of a fermentation mixture, comprising culturing a microorganism that produces the organic product under conditions and the step (a1) as above per se;    (3) an organic product purified by the method;    (4) an organic product produced by the method;    (5) a composition comprising the emulsion of a fermentation broth comprising fatty alcohols, fatty acids, and/or fatty esters and a demulsifying solvent; and    (6) a method-III of recovering the organic product from the fermentation broth comprising contacting the fermentation broth comprising the organic product produced from a microorganism with the demulsifying solvent at an effective temperature and time sufficient to allow mixing of the broth and solvent, heating the mixture, allowing the mixture to separate into two distinct phases, and recovering the organic product by separating the two distinct phases.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a flow chart of a method for demulsifying the emulsion.
