PRODUCTION OF SQUALENE AND/OR STEROL FROM CELL SUSPENSIONS OF FERMENTED YEAST

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the production of squalene and/or sterol in high amounts using an alkaline solution and an organic lysis solvent at high temperature and high pressure for effectively lysing yeast cells and extracting squalene and/or sterol into an organic extraction solvent,thus obtaining squalene and/or sterolin high amount and of high purity.
