1-85. (canceled)
A process for producing extracted lipid, comprising the steps of:
- a) obtaining Brassica napus or Camelina sativa seed comprising extractable lipid having a total fatty acid content, the lipid comprising fatty acids esterified as triacylglycerols (TAG), the fatty acids comprising oleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid (LA), γ-linolenic acid (GLA), α-linolenic acid (ALA), stearidonic acid (SDA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), wherein at least 70% of the DHA which is esterified in the form of TAG is esterified at the sn-1 or sn-3 position of TAG, and
- b)extracting lipid from the seed.
A process for producing extracted lipid, comprising the steps of:
- a)obtaining Brassica napus or Camelina sativa seeds from Brassica napus or Camelina sativa plants grown in a field as a population of at least 1,000 plants, the seeds comprising extractable lipid having a total fatty acid content, the lipid comprising fatty acids esterified as triacylglycerols (TAG), the fatty acids comprising oleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid (LA), γ-linolenic acid (GLA), α-linolenic acid (ALA), stearidonic acid (SDA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), wherein at least 70% of the DHA which is esterified in the form of TAG is esterified at the sn-1 or sn-3 position of TAG, and
- b)extracting lipid from the Brassica napus or Camelina sativaseeds.
