Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively and economically conduct concentrated separation of a specific fatty acid ester such as docosahexaenoic ester by extractive separation of a fatty acid ester mixture by a specific means using a fluid in supercritical state. SOLUTION: First, a fatty acid ester mixture is subjected to extractive separation with a fluid in supercritical or subcritical state to remove low-molecular- weight fatty acid esters. Subsequently, the resultant extraction residues is introduced into an extraction column having rectification function to conduct both extraction and rectification with a fluid in supercritical or subcritical state, thus accomplishing the objective concentrated separation of a specific fatty acid ester in the extraction phase or extraction residues. For the concentrated separation of an eicosapentaenoic or docosahexaenoic ester as an example of the fatty acid ester, it is preferable that extraction temperature and extraction pressure be at 46-100 deg.C and 80-300atm, respectively. The fluid in supercritical state to be used is e.g. carbon dioxide < 75kg/cm<2> G in pressure and <31 deg.C in temperature. The extraction column having rectification function can be obtained, for example, by installing a reflux means etc.

2. Description of the Related Art EPA and DHA contained in marine oils and fats such as fish oil are known to be effective in preventing and treating thrombotic diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. However, its content in natural products is low, so it needs to be concentrated. Distillation, chromatography, supercritical extraction and the like are known as methods for concentrating and separating a specific fatty acid ester from a mixture of various fatty acid esters. However, since the method by distillation is a separation by boiling point difference, it is difficult to separate highly unsaturated fatty acid ester having a similar boiling point from other saturated or low unsaturated fatty acid ester, and because of the higher boiling point, Even by distillation under reduced pressure of 1 mmHg or less,
Heating at high temperature is unavoidable, which has a drawback that isomerization and polymerization are likely to occur. Further, the method by chromatography has the drawbacks that it takes a long time for separation and a large amount of solvent is required for the raw materials.

-21820). In this method, in order to increase the solubility of triglyceride in fats and oils in carbon dioxide in a supercritical state, after extraction with fatty acid alkyl ester, carbon dioxide is extracted and separated, and the extracted fatty acid alkyl ester-containing dioxide is added. The concentration and separation efficiency is increased by rectifying the carbon phase. This method has a low treatment temperature and is superior in the separation property of the specific component as compared with the distillation method, but the efficiency of concentrating the desired specific component is not sufficient.

Lower alcohol esters of various fatty acids are
Dissolved in carbon dioxide in the supercritical or subcritical state,
Moreover, its solubility changes depending on the molecular weight. Since low-molecular components have high solubility, they are preferentially extracted when the extraction treatment is performed over time. In addition, low-molecular weight components are dissolved under isothermal conditions even at low extraction pressures, that is, at low dissolution capacities, and the higher the pressure, the higher the molecular weight fraction that can be dissolved in supercritical or subcritical carbon dioxide. Therefore, by utilizing this property, it is possible to easily and efficiently separate even an organic substance having a large molecular weight, which is difficult to fractionate by an ordinary molecular distillation method. In the present invention, a fluid in a supercritical state refers to a fluid having a temperature and a pressure equal to or higher than a critical point, and a fluid in a subcritical state refers to a critical point in which at least one of pressure and temperature is near the critical point.

There is a large difference in solubility between the solubility of EPA and DHA in carbon dioxide in the supercritical or subcritical state and the low molecular weight ester consisting of a fatty acid having 18 or less carbon atoms, and the ester of a lower fatty acid dissolves in a large amount. By removing the low molecular weight fatty acid ester with carbon dioxide in the supercritical or subcritical state and then performing extraction separation in the extraction column having a rectification function, the load on the extraction column is reduced, the column diameter is small, and the column height is high. It becomes possible to perform purification separation with an extraction device having a low power consumption. An extraction column having a rectification function can be obtained by forming a temperature gradient in the extraction column or providing a reflux means or the like. In addition, after separating the ester of lower fatty acid, EPA and DH
It is also possible to purify and separate A. In addition to carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon or the like may be used as the fluid in the supercritical state.
