Preparation of microbial polyunsaturated fatty acid containing oil from pasteurised biomass

摘要

The present invention discloses a microbial polyunsaturated (PUFA)-containing oil with a high triglyceride content and a high oxidative stability. In addition, a method is described for the recovery of such oil from a microbial biomass derived from a pasteurised fermentation broth, wherein the microbial biomass is subjected to extrusion to form granular particles, dried and the oil then extracted from the dried granules using an appropriate solvent.
