THE PRODUCTION OF ARACHIDONIC ACID (ADA) USING THE ALGAE SPECIES PORPHYRIDIUM CRUENTUM AND THE PRODUCTION OF DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID (DHA) USING THE ALGAE SPECIE ISOCHRYSIS GALBANA

摘要

A method of producing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from a culture of Isochrysisgalbana, and production of arachidonic acid (ADA) from a culture of porphyridiumcruentum. This production process comprises of growing the cultures in a syntheticseawater medium in a closed culture system at ambient temperature. The culture is thenextracted, washed with sterilized fresh water and dried. The resulting dry biomass isintended to be marketed as a food containing DHA and ADA, as well as a raw source forDHA and ADA.
