Abstract

To highly purify γ-linolenic acid (GLA) from microbial lipids, various types of zeolites were investigated in a fixed-bed column system, where a two-step desoprtion operation mode was found to be superior in selective separation of GLA. By this system, GLA ethyl ester of 98 mol% purity was obtained from a mixture of various polysaturated and unsaturated fatty acid esters using cesium Y and methyl-, dimethyl- and ethylammonium Y zeolites.
