PRODUCTION AND USE OF A POLAR LIPID-RICH FRACTION
CONTAINING STEARIDONIC ACID AND GAMMA LINOLENIC ACID
FROM PLANT SEEDS AND MICROBES FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the fields of production and use, and in particular, the extraction, separation, synthesis and recovery of polar lipid-rich fractions containing gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and/or stearidonic acid (SDA) from seeds and microorganisms and their use in human food applications, animal feed, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Polyunsaturated fatty acids of the omega-6 and omega-3 series represent a special class of bioactive lipids in that they are important structurally in membranes in the body, but also participate directly and indirectly in communication between cells through the eicosanoid pathways and by their influence of these fatty acids on gene expression. Two of these fatty acids GLA (gammalinolenic acid; C18:3n-6) and SDA (stearidonic acid; C18:4n-3) have been shown to be effective in treating inflammatory conditions, autoimmune conditions, women's health conditions (e.g. menopause and premenstrual disorders) and fatty acid imbalances in infants and animals. Recent evidence indicates that some polyunsaturated fatty acids may be more bioavailable when supplied in a phospholipid form than in a triglyceride form. GLA and SDA have historically been supplied to the nutritional supplement markets in the form of oil extracted from seeds. However recent evidence indicates that some polyunsaturated fatty acids may be more bioavailable in a phospholipid form rather than in a triglyceride form. This may be because of the bipolar nature of phospholipids making them readily solubilized in the gut and available for digestion and uptake. This same bipolar property of phospholipids additionally would make these fatty acids, such as GLA and SDA, more functional in topical applications such as creams and lotions because of their ability to participate in emulsification processes. The present inventors propose that there may be important advantages in supplying GLA and SDA in the form of phospholipids and improved processes for recovering polar lipids enriched in these fatty acids are also needed.
Examples of polar lipids include phospholipids (e.g. phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidyl- glycerol, diphosphatidylglycerols), cephalins, sphingolipids (sphingomyelins and glycosphingolipids), and glycoglycerolipids. Phospholipids are composed of the following major structural units: fatty acids, glycerol, phosphoric acid, and amino alcohols. They are generally considered to be structural lipids, playing important roles in the structure of the membranes of plants, microbes and animals. Because of their chemical structure, polar lipids exhibit a bipolar nature, exhibiting solubility or partial solubility in both polar and non-polar solvents. The term polar lipid within the present description is not limited to natural polar lipids but also includes chemically modified polar lipids. Although the term oil has various meanings, as used herein, it will refer to the triacylglycerol fraction.
One of the important characteristics of polar lipids, and especially phospholipids, is that they commonly contain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs: fatty acids with 2 or more unsaturated bonds). In many plant, microbial and animal systems, they are especially enriched in the highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs: fatty acids with 4 or more unsaturated bonds) of the omega-3 and omega-6 series. Although these highly unsaturated fatty acids are considered unstable in triacylglycerol form, they exhibit enhanced stability when incorporated in phospholipids. The primary sources of commercial PUFA-rich phospholipids are soybeans and canola seeds. These biomaterials do not contain any appreciable amounts of GLA or SDA unless they have been genetically modified. The phospholipids (commonly called lecithins) are routinely recovered from these oilseeds as a by-product of the vegetable oil extraction process. For example, in the production of soybean or canola oil, the beans (seeds) are first heat-treated and then crushed, ground, and/or flaked, followed by extraction with a non-polar solvent such as hexane. Hexane removes the triacylglycerol- rich fraction from the seeds together with a varying amount of polar lipids (lecithins). The extracted oil is then de-gummed (lecithin removal) either physically or chemically as a part of the normal oil refining process and the precipitated lecithins recovered. This process however has two disadvantages: (1) the seeds must be heat-treated before extraction with hexane, both increasing the processing cost and denaturing the protein fraction, thereby decreasing its value as a by-product; and (2) the use of the non-polar
solvents such as hexane also presents toxicity and flammability problems that must be dealt with.
The crude lecithin extracted in the "de-gumming" process can contain up to about 33% oil (triacylglycerols) along with sterols and glucosides. One preferred method for separating this oil from the crude lecithin is by extraction with acetone. The oil (triacylglycerols) is soluble in acetone and the lecithin is not. The acetone solution is separated from the precipitate (lecithin) by centrifugation and the precipitate dried under first a fluidized bed drier and then a vacuum drying oven to recover the residual acetone as the product is dried. Drying temperatures of 50-70°C are commonly used. The resulting dried lecithins contain approximately 2-4% by weight of oil (triacylglycerols). Process temperatures above 70°C can lead to thermal decomposition of the phospholipids. However, even at temperatures below 70°C the presence of acetone leads to the formation of products that can impair the organoleptic quality of the phospholipids. These byproducts can impart musty odors to the product and also a pungent aftertaste. What is needed is an improved process for effectively recovering polar lipids and phospholipids rich in GLA and SDA from biomaterials that enables the use of these fatty acid in food, nutritional supplement, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Furthermore the fractions are needed as an ingredient in feed for companion animals and in aquaculture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Because of their bipolar nature, polar lipids (including phospholipids) are of significant commercial interest as wetting and emulsifying agents. These properties may also help make PUFAs in the phospholipids more bioavailable, in addition to enhancing their stability. These properties make phospholipids ideal forms of ingredients for use in nutritional supplements, food, infant formula, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. Dietary benefits of phospholipids include both improved absorption and improved incorporation. Phospholipids also have a broad range of functionality in the body in that they are important cell membrane constituents, they are good emulsifiers, they can act as intestinal surfactants, serve as a choline source and as a source of PUFAs.
GLA and SDA are normally produced for the nutritional supplement market through hexane extraction of seeds from the plant families Boraginaceae, Onagraceae, Saxifragaceae, Scrophulariaceae or Cannabaceae. These families include borage, echium, evening primrose and black currant. The phospholipids are removed in a degumming step that produces a waste material comprising a complex mixture of neutral lipids, sterols, glucosides and phospholipids. This material is normally sold to the domestic animal feed industry to dispose of it. To the best of the present inventors' knowledge,
there are no phospholipid forms of GLA and/or SDA available in the nutritional supplement, food, companion animal or aquaculture markets.
Besides oilseeds, there are also microbial sources of SDA and GLA but none of these is commercially available. Microorganisms known to contain GLA and/or SDA are found in yeast and the following genera of fungi: Mortierella, Mucor, Blastocladiella, Choanephora, Conidiobolus, Entomophthora, Helicostylum, Rhizopus, Beauveria, Thamnidium, Lactarius, Cantherellus, Polyporus, Glomus, Zygorhynchus, and Pythium; and genera of algae and algae-like microorganisms including: Chlorella, Cyanidium, Scenedesmus, Chlamydomonas, Ankistrodesmus, Enteromorpha, Oocystis, Dunaliella, Heteromastix, Ochromonas, Prymnesium, Isochrysis, Dicrateria, Fucus, Gonlaulux, Amphidinium, Peridinium, Hemiselmis, Cryptomonas, Chroomonas, Rhodomonas, Hemiselmis, Thraustochytrium, and Schizochytium. For the purposes of this application members of the former thraustochytrid genus Ulkenia are considered to be part of the genus Thraustochytrium. Microorganisms are good sources of phospholipids because they can be grown in culture in a manner that optimizes phospholipid production and minimizes triglyceride (oil) production. On the other hand the methods used in this invention allow both oil and phospholipids to be recovered separately in forms that can be used directly in food, feed, nutritional supplements, cosmetic or pharmaceutical application. GLA and SDA phospholipids can be recovered from oilseeds through the degumming process described above. However, as noted, this produces a complex material containing many other compounds including neutral lipids, sterols, glucosides, etc
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is to use alcohol and centrifugation to recover the GLA- and SDA-rich phospholipids. Preferred methods for this recovery are described in the following references which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety: i. PCT Application Serial No. PCT/US01/12047, entitled "Method for the Fractionation of Oil and Polar Lipid-Containing Native Raw Materials" filed April 12, 2001; ii. PCT Application Serial No. PCT/US01/12049, entitled "Method For The Fractionation Of Oil And Polar Lipid-Containing Native Raw Materials
Using Water-Soluble Organic Solvent And Centrifugation" filed April 12,
2001.
Although these are preferred extraction methods, any suitable extraction method can be employed with the present invention. Once the GLA- and SDA-rich phospholipids fractions have been extracted by these preferred processes, they can be used directly as ingredients or they can be purified further and even separated into phospholipid classes by well-known techniques such as different forms of chromatography, molecular distillation, and special refining techniques. The phospholipid rich polar lipids or the purified phospholipid rich fractions can also be mixed with another lipid or oil such as fish lipids, microbial lipids, vegetable lipids,
GLA-containing lipids, SDA-containing lipids and mixtures thereof, or be mixed with another phospholipid fraction (lecithin) such as soy or egg yolk lecithin, sunflower lecithin, peanut lecithin or mixtures thereof prior to use as a nutritional supplement, feed or food ingredient. These mixtures of phospholipids can also be incorporated into creams or lotions for topical applications (e.g. treating of skin conditions) or skin lesions induced by burns, UV-irradiation or other skin damaging processes. The mixtures can also be processed to produce a liquid or spray-dried dietetic product or fat emulsion for treating cachexia and severe fat malabsorption or for treatment of H. pylori infection of the gastrointestinal tract, or be used to produce an aerosol (spray) for the treatment of chronic inflammatory disease states of the lung (COPD, asthma, cystic fibrosis).
Advantages of the present invention including providing GLA and SDA in a more bioactive and functional form (phospholipid) than the triglyceride form and include a better process: a) no need for heat treatment; b) no use of toxic solvents (like hexane) and c) no artifacts and off-flavors due to the use of acetone) for recovering these phospholipids from oilseeds and microbes.
The following example is provided for the purpose of illustration and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
EXAMPLE Example 1
Phospholipids were extracted from four types of oilseeds and the total fatty acid content of the phospholipids was determined by gas chromatography. The results are presented in Table 1. As can be observed the phospholipid fraction of these seeds can be
used to deliver GLA and or SDA and in this form these bioactive fatty acids should be more stable, more bioavailable, and more functional.
