摘要:
The present invention provides a method for extracting lipids from microorganisms without using organic solvent as an extraction solvent. In particular, the present invention provides a method for extracting lipids from microorganisms by lysing cells and removing water soluble compound and/or materials by washing the lysed cell mixtures with aqueous washing solutions until a substantially non-emulsified lipid is obtained.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of intermediates useful in the synthesis of epothilone analogs by initially enzymatically degrading certain epothilone compounds to form ring-open structures containing a carboxyl group which is esterified, the hydroxyl groups on the moiety protected and the resulting compound oxidized by, e.g. ozone, to form a first intermediate. The first intermediate can be reacted with a triphenylphosphine adduct to yield a compound containing an ester group at position 1 which is subsequently hydrolyzed to form a second intermediate.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of phosphatidylserines, comprising the reaction of phosphatides, such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, with racemic or enantiomerically pure Serine, preferably with (L)-Serine, wherein said reaction is carried out in an aqueous dispersion of said phosphatides in the presence of a phospholipase D (PLD) and of calcium salts.
摘要:
Aliphatic, saturated or unsaturated, straight or branched chain C2-C24 monocarboxylic acids and polyhydric alcohols, particularly glycerol are selectively reached to monoesters in the presence of an enzyme which comprises potato lipid acyl hydrolase. The process can be used too for upgrading technical monoglycerides which contain free fatty acids.
摘要:
A lipolytic enzyme such as lipase is adsorbed on a porous anion-exchange resin carrier to obtain an immobilized enzyme without drying. The un-dried immobilized enzyme is contacted with a fat or oil for a time which may be about 2 hours to about 24 hours to stabilize the immobilized enzyme, and the immobilized enzyme is recovered from the fat or oil. The recovered immobilized enzyme is then used for esterifying or hydrolyzing a substrate. Water content of the un-dried immobilized enzyme may be 20% or more be weight such as 20-60%. Prior to immobilization, the resin carrier may be treated with a lypophylic aliphatic acid which preferably has 8 to 18 carbons.
摘要:
A method for producing at least one metal salt of a fatty acid is disclosed. The process first obtains from animal rumen, ruminal fluid containing at least one fatty acid. Next, at least one metal oxide is added to the ruminal fluid. One metal salt of a fatty acid is formed from the addition of these two components. Lastly, the process involves recovering at least some of the at least one metal salt of a fatty acid. The ruminal fluid also contains enzymes which are isolated in the process.
摘要:
A process for preparing a material B comprising geometrical isomers L1 and L2 of conjugated linoleic acid moieties in a specific weight ratio of XB wherein a material A selected from free fatty acids, mono-, di- or tri-glycerides, phospholipids, alkyl esters or wax-esters containing at least 5 weight % of L1 and L2 are subjected to enzymatic conversion using an enzyme that can discriminate between L1 and L2 so that the original weight ratio of L1 to L2 of XA in the starting material is increased to XB where XB is equal to or greater than 1.1 XA. Advantageously, the isomers L1 and L2 are cis9, trans11 and trans10, cis12 linoleic acid or vice versa. The enzyme is advantageously a lipase obtained from Geotrichum candidum or Candida rugosa or a phospholipase. The starting material A may be, for example, a fish oil or vegetable oil. The resulting products may be blended with a complementary fat and may be used as foods or food supplements or in pharmaceutical compositions.
摘要:
A method of purifying mycolic acids, salts thereof or derivatives thereof. The method involves a) providing a mixture including the mycolic acids, salts thereof or derivatives thereof and contaminants; b) dissolving the mixture in a bi-phasic solvent to form a dissolved mixture including the mycolic acids, salts thereof or derivatives thereof and contaminants; c) purifying the mycolic acids, salts thereof or derivatives thereof by subjecting the dissolved mixture to countercurrent distribution separation involving a sufficient number of cycles to separate the mycolic acids, salts thereof or derivatives thereof from the contaminants; and d) removing the separated, purified mycolic acids, salts thereof or derivatives thereof from the bi-phasic solvent. Residual impurities may be extracted from the removed mycolic acids, salts thereof or derivatives thereof with acetone.
摘要:
This invention provides a particulate material suitable for use as a nutritional supplement, particularly as an aquaculture feed. The particulate material has a high proportion of DHA residues in the lipid fraction, which may be up to 35% of the material, or even more. Preferably, the material has a mean particle size of from about 5 microns to about 10 microns. This invention also provides a method for preparing a particulate material suitable for use as an aquaculture feed from microbial biomass, preferably from algal cells having a high content of DHA residues, by obtaining a lipid fraction from the biomass, preferably by solvent extraction of broken cells, followed by separating a fraction containing phospholipids and proteins from the lipid fraction, and removing water from the protein/phospholipid fraction to form a low moisture particulate, preferably by spray-drying the protein/phospholipid fraction.
