<p>An efficient method of producing phytosphingosine-containing ceramide one having general structure (1), comprising: (a) obtaining a phytosphingosine base from tetraacetylphytosphingosine (TAPS) by a deacetylation reaction wherein the TAPS is produced by fermentation of cells of the F-60-10 mating type strain of Hansenula ciferrii using a fed-batch mode and a non-fermentable carbon source; and (b) coupling together the phytosphingosine base and a fatty acid/φ-hydroxy fatty acid component wherein the φ-hydroxy fatty acid component is prepared by a process which includes Kolbé synthesis.</p> |
