Oil containing one or more long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from biomass, process for preparing it, foodstuff, or nutritional, cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition containing it

摘要

A process for preparing an oil is disclosed to be used in a food, nutritional, pharmaceutical or cosmetic product. A carrier oil is described to be brought into contact with a biomass obtained from the culture of a microorganism containing one or more long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, so as to transfer at least 60% by weight the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid(s) in the form of triacylglycerols to the carrier. The oil containing the fatty acid(s) is separated from the biomass residue by pressing and filtration and it is deodorised under gentle conditions.
