High-quality lipids produced by enzymatic liberation from biomass

摘要

A high-quality lipid composition is disclosed having low oxidative deterioration such as measured by low anisidine values. Also disclosed are methods of preparing the same from a lipid-containing material that include enzymatic degradation of protein and/or carbohydrate components of the material. Lipid-containing materials include biomass, such as microorganisms. The invention further includes products containing the lipid compositions, such as dietary supplements, food products, pharmaceutical formulations, humanized animal milk, and infant formula.

主权项

1. A refined, bleached, or deodorized microbial or plant lipid comprising polyunsaturated fatty acid, wherein said lipid has an anisidine value of 1.5 or less, wherein said lipid has been liberated from biomass enzymatically and through addition of a surfactant, and wherein said polyunsaturated fatty acid present in said lipid comprises at least 20 weight percent docosahexaenoic acid, at least 5 weight percent docosapentaenoic acid, or at least 20 weight percent arachidonic acid.
