Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'enrichissement enzymatique sélectif destiné à préparer des oméga trois à partir d'huiles naturelles contenant du DHA (acide docosahexanoïque) et du DPA (acide eicosapentanoïque), qui peuvent aussi, si on le souhaite être dérivées sous une forme d'ester. Cette technique permet l'utilisation d'enzymes spécifiques appartenant à la classe des lipases, qui sont capables de sélectivement hydrolyser ces mélanges naturels et qui, après une purification adaptée, sont capables de donner des mélanges enrichis à l'OPA et au DHA sous forme de triglycéride et sous forme d'ester.
