摘要:
The current invention describes processes for obtaining of concentrates of esters of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid for their use in massive and regular human consumption either as a pharmaceutical ingredient or as a food ingredient, which are characterized by having neutral and stable organoleptic properties, free of side effects, which are typical from marine oils derivatives, and with low content of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP).

摘要:
An efficient and simple process to obtain a concentrate that comprising over 80% in weight of ethyl esters of ω-3 fatty acids based on a composition of matter that contains esters of ω-3 fatty acids or free ω-3 fatty acids that comprises the steps of: a) contacting the composition of matter with ethanol of at least 96% in weight and a hydroxide of an alkali metal at a temperature between 60 and 200 °C to form a liquid mixture comprising alkaline salts of fatty acids; b) cooling the liquid mixture to a temperature between soft and -20 °C to form a solid phase and a liquid phase and separate the liquid phase from the solid phase; c) contacting the separated liquid phase of step b) with an acid to form an acidified mixture with a water content under 10%, where the mixture consists of a solid phase that includes the alkali metal salt of the acid and a liquid phase comprising ω-3 fatty acids; d) heating the mixture of step c) between 50 to 150 °C in the presence of an esterification catalyst to form a mixture comprising ethyl esters of ω-3 fatty acids; e) contacting the mixture of stage d) with an alkali to form a neutralized mixture; f) distilling the neutralized mixture to obtain a distillate that includes over 80% in weight of ethyl esters of ω-3 fatty acids.
