Abstract: | Preparation of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrates from seal blubber oil (SBO) and menhaden oil (MHO) in the
form of acylglycerols was carried out by hydrolysis with a number of commercial microbial lipases. The lipases tested were
Aspergillus niger, Candida cylindracea (CC), Chromobacterium viscosum, Geotrichum candidum, Mucor miehei, Pseudomonas sp., Rhizopus oryzae, and Rhizopus niveus. After lipase-assisted hydrolysis of oils, free fatty acids were removed, and fatty acid composition of the mixture containing
mono-, di-, and triacylglycerols was determined. All lipases were effective in increasing the n-3 PUFA content of the remaining
acylglycerols of both SBO and MHO. The highest concentration of n-3 PUFA was provided by CC lipase; 43.5% in SBO 9.75% eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA), 8.61% docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), and 24.0% docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)] and 44.1% in MHO (18.5% EPA, 3.62% DPA,
and 17.3% DHA) after 40 h of hydrolysis. Thus, CC lipase appears to be most suitable for preparation of n-3 PUFA in the acylglycerol
form from marine oils. |
