The present invention relates to a method for separating fatty acids, and more particularly to a method for separating saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids, and a method for separating unsaturated fatty acid components according to the number of unsaturated bonds. The present invention relates to a method for separating a fatty acid which can be carried out.

Lipids classified as neutral fats, phospholipids and glycolipids are extracted and produced from natural substances such as animal and plant fats and oils, and are widely used in foods, fuels, pharmaceuticals, soaps, cosmetics and the like. Among lipids, neutral fatty acids having 14 to 22 carbon atoms are particularly widely used. For example, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is an unsaturated fatty acid having 20 carbon atoms, is contained in fish oil and the like, and has a thrombolytic effect and a blood lowering effect. There is a high added value as a pharmaceutical.

As a method for separating eicosapentaenoic acid from an extract containing a plurality of fatty acids extracted from fish oil such as sardines, an extraction separation method using a supercritical fluid of CO 2 is known. In this method, eicosapentaenoic acid is separated by chromatography using a supercritical fluid of CO 2 as a mobile phase after extracting fatty acids from fish oil, but unsaturated fatty acids having 18 to 22 carbon atoms can be completely separated. Therefore, it was difficult to obtain eicosapentaenoic acid having a purity of 100%. In addition, it was necessary to maintain the device at 72.9 atm or more in order to attain the supercritical state, and it was necessary to increase the pressure resistance of the device.

On the other hand, as a method for separating saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids, silver is supported on a carrier obtained by spheroidizing hectorite, a kind of viscous mineral, and this is used as an adsorbent to elute a non-polar solvent such as n-hexane. A method of separating a liquid by chromatography is known (the 33rd Annual Meeting of the Liquid Chromatography Workshop, p58 (1990)). In this method, these components can be separated by adsorbing unsaturated fatty acids onto a carrier and eluting the saturated fatty acids. However, separation of unsaturated fatty acid components according to the number of unsaturated bonds (the number of -C = C-) is possible. Could not be applied to

The adsorbent loaded with lead adsorbs saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids, and particularly adsorbs fatty acids having 16 to 22 carbon atoms almost completely. Examples of the saturated fatty acids include palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, and lignoceric acid. Examples of the unsaturated fatty acids include palmitoleic acid having one carbon-carbon double bond, oleic acid, gadolinic acid, Two linoleic acids, three linolenic acids, four stearidonic acids, arachidonic acids, five eicosapentaenoic acids, and the like.

The saturated fatty acid adsorbed on the carrier is not eluted even when a non-polar solvent or a mixture of a non-polar solvent and a polar solvent is used as an eluent, and is adsorbed and remains on the carrier. On the other hand, unsaturated fatty acids are sequentially eluted by the eluent from the unsaturated fatty acid component having a small number of unsaturated bonds. This is based on the interaction between the lead ion and the double bond of the unsaturated fatty acid, and enables high-performance separation.
