Abstract
The present invention relates to lipid comprising docosapentaenoic acid and/or docosahexaenoic acid wherein the docosapentaenoic acid and/or docosahexaenoic acid may be preferentially esterified at the sn-2 position of triacylglycerol, and processes for producing and using the lipid.
Claims9
Extracted oilseed plant seedoil, comprising fatty acids in an esterified form, the fatty acids comprising oleic acid, palmitic acid, ω6 fatty acids which comprise linoleic acid (LA), ω3 fatty acids which comprise α-linolenic acid (ALA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and optionally one or more of stearidonic acid (SDA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), wherein the level of palmitic acid in the total fatty acid content of the extracted oilseed plant seedoil is between 2% and 16% by weight, and wherein the total fatty acid content of the oilseed plant seedoil comprises less than 1% myristic acid (C14:0) by weight and wherein the level of DHA in the total fatty acid content of the extracted oilseed plant seedoil is between 20.1% and 35% by weight.
