Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An edible oil obtained by culturing a microorganism belong to the genus Mortierella subgenus Mortierella in a medium containing a nitrogen source derived from soybean is discussed. The oils obtained have a low 24,25-methylenecholest-5-en-3β-ol content.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A microbial oil having a dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) content of at least 5.2%, wherein the microbial oil is obtained from Mortierella alpina , wherein the microbial oil comprises 24,25-methylenecholest-5-en-3β-ol and desmosterol, and wherein the unsaturated fatty acid-containing microbial oil has a 24,25-methylenecholest-5-en-3β-ol compositional ratio of 35% or lower. 2. The microbial oil of claim 1 , wherein the microbial oil has a 24,25-methylenecholest-5-en-3β-ol compositional ratio in a proportion of 1.2 or less with respect to desmosterol. 3. A microbial oil having a dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) content of at least 5.2%, wherein the microbial oil is obtained from Mortierella alpina , wherein the microbial oil comprises 24,25-methylenecholest-5-en-3β-ol and desmosterol, and wherein the unsaturated fatty acid-containing microbial oil has a 24,25-methylenecholest-5-en-3β-ol compositional ratio in a proportion of 1.2 or less with respect to desmosterol. 4. A nutritive dietary supplement comprising the microbial oil of claim 1 , having a 24,25-methylenecholest-5-en-3β-ol compositional ratio of 35% or lower, and having a 24,25-methylenecholest-5-en-3β-ol compositional ratio in a proportion of 1.2 or less with respect to desmosterol. 5. An immature infant formula, infant formula, baby food, or pregnancy food product comprising the microbial oil of claim 1 . 6. An animal feed comprising the microbial oil of claim 1 .
