Preparation of high purity docosahexaenoic acid from microalgae oil in a packed bed reactor via two-step lipase-catalysed esterification

Highly pure docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was produced successfully in a packed bed reactor via the two-step lipase-catalysed esterification using the fatty acid from microalgae (from Crypthecodinium cohnii) and ethanol as substrates. Lipozyme RM IM from Rhizomucor miehei was employed as a biocatalyst....
