In addition, polyunsaturated fatty acids such as DHA are extracted from fish oil. However, the content of the fatty acids in fish oil (whale oil, sardine oil) is low, and polyunsaturated fatty acids themselves are easily oxidatively decomposed. It is difficult to obtain the desired highly unsaturated fatty acid with high purity.
