Purification of docosahexaenoic acid from tuna oil by a two‐step enzymatic method: Hydrolysis and selective esterification

Abstract: Purification of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was attempted by a two-step enzymatic method that consisted of hydrolysis of tuna oil and selective esterification of the resulting free fatty acids (FFA). When more than 60% of tuna oil was hydrolyzed with Pseudomonas sp. lipase (Lipase-AK), the DHA content in the FFA fraction coincided with its content in the original tuna oil. This lipase showed stronger activity on the DHA ester than on the eicosapentaenoic acid ester and was suitable for preparation of FFA rich i… Show more

“…6), especially when it was increased by 5-fold (from reaction IV to reaction V). This result was obviously expected [11,[23][24][25][26], since the rate limiting component in the enzymatic reactions with high concentrations of substrates is the amount of enzyme. The trend observed in the total omega 3 PUFA content was somewhat different (Fig.…”

“…Strong discrimination was offered by CRL and RJL with the former lipase providing the highest DHA concentration level of 22.5% in excellent recovery (94%) at 63% conversion. Tuna oil hydrolysis by CRL has previously been demonstrated to afford DHA concentration levels up to 50% [10][11][12]14]. Moderate discrimination between EPA and DHA was also offered by CLL and ROL.…”

“…There are numerous reports in the literature describing the application of commercially available lipases to concentrate EPA and DHA from marine oils in various types of hydrolysis, esterification and transesterification reactions [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. They reveal that the commercially available lipases discriminate against n-3 PUFA, and that lipases that display any significant activity toward n-3 fatty acids usually prefer EPA to DHA as substrate.…”

“…For a long time, these molecules were shown to be of great importance in the prevention of a number of diseases such as inflammation, hypotriglyceridemic effect, allergies, diabetes or coronary heart disease [3][4][5][6]. Up until now, enzymatic methods for concentration of n-3 fatty acids have been used and several lipases have been studied and optimised in a number of reactions (hydrolysis, esterification, transesterification) [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Membrane filtration has proven valuable for the deacidification and degumming of oil, and is also a promising means for the separation and concentration of oils and fats [13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
