- VLCPUFAs very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids
- this invention is directed to a composition comprising a high concentration of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids isolated from such natural sources; as well as to a process for isolating separate fractions of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids having identical chain lengths but different degrees of unsaturation from such highly concentrated compositions.

- docosahexaenoic acid have become household names in describing valuable omega-3 -acids from fish oil and other sources. Products rich in alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) from plant sources are also available in the market.
- lipids are described by the formula X: YnZ wherein X is the number of carbon atoms in their alkyl chain, and Y is the number of double bonds in such chain; and where "nZ" is the number of carbon atoms from the methyl end group to the first double bond. In nature the double bonds are all in the cis-form.
- polyunsaturated fatty acids each double bond is separated from the next by one methylene (- CH 2 ) group.

- such higher molecular weight components of marine oils are typically associated with undesirable unsaponifiable constituents of such oil including cholesterol as well as with organic pollutants such as brominated diphenyl ethers.
- VLCPUFAs are found in a variety of mammalian spermatozoa (including human); while Rotstein et al ⁇ Synthesis of very long chain (up to 36 carbon) tetra, penta and hexaenoic fatty acids in retina, Biochem J. (1988) 249, 191-200) discloses the isolation of certain VLCPUFAs from bovine retina.
- VLCPUFAs are mammalian bodies to retinal tissue, testes, brain, and spermatozoa. Further, this review provides very useful information on valuable physiological roles of VLCPUFAs, including their importance for optimal functioning of the eyes and cerebral tissues as well as for male fertility. On the other hand, the review states that, unlike LCPUFAs, VLCPUFAs cannot be obtained from dietary sources, and thus must be synthesised in situ from shorter chain fatty acid precursors.
- VLCPUFAs could be extracted from marine oils in commercially useful amounts; including from compositions which have in the past been considered a waste product of EPA/DHA composition production processes.
- the present invention is directed to a method for obtaining an enriched composition of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids from a natural oil composition comprising the steps of:
- A) Hydrolyzing an oil composition derived from natural sources and comprising very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids with a base in the presence of an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of C1-C5 alcohols and ketones of the formula R 1 (C 0)R 2 wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently C1-C5 alkyl, and water to form a composition comprising free fatty acid salts of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids;

- step C) is equivalent to step e).
- step a) is equally applicable to step A
- step d) is equally applicable to step B
- step e) is equally applicable to step C, respectively.
- the oil composition comprising very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which is hydrolyzed in step a) (or Step A)) may be derived from any natural source containing very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, including but not limited to fish, crustaceans such as krill, algae, plankton, and higher plants. Without limiting the choice of raw materials, such starting material is typically obtained by transesterification oil obtained from fish of families such as Engraulidae, Carangidae, Clupeidae, Osmeridae, Salmonidae and Scombridae or from animals of the class Cephalopoda and subsequent physico-chemical purification processes. Specific fish species from which such oil may be derived include herring, capelin, anchovy, mackerel, blue whiting, sand eel, squid, cod viscera and pollock viscera.
- the starting oil composition has a reduced amount of fatty acids having a chain length of C 18 or less ("shorter chain fatty acids”), many of which are saturated fatty acids, due to such starting oil composition having been subjected to a prior concentration step (such as short path distillation or extraction) to remove such shorter chain fatty acids from such composition.
- saturated fatty acids of marine oil typically have relatively short chain lengths (in herring oil mostly C 14 and C 16 ) such a procedure will also significantly reduce the content of saturated fatty acids in the starting material.
- omega- 3 acid concentrates with about a 60 % by weight omega-3 concentration are typically
- the residue from the first step is passed through a distillation unit in order to isolate a distillate rich in omega-3 acids, particularly EPA and DHA.
- omega-3 acids particularly EPA and DHA.
- this distillate may be the final product. If the final product is to be marketed as a triglyceride product, a further transesterification step with glycerol is required.
- the residue from such second distillation or subsequent distillations contains a high amount of partial glycerides and is enriched in cholesterol.
- the commercial value of such residue is today very low.
- such residue will contain most of the VLCPUFAs of the original oil, in addition to high concentrations of DHA and EPA.
- a free fatty acid product can be obtained that includes not only the VLCPUFAs, but is also rich in DHA and/or EPA and/or other C18-C22 omega-3 acids, notably DPA (22:5n3).
- the starting oil composition will not have had shorter chain fatty acids removed prior to hydrolysis in step a) (or Step A)).
- shorter chain fatty acids are typically removed subsequent to the hydrolysis of the starting oil composition in step a) (or step A)) employing processes such as distillation, extraction, enzymatic fractionation procedures and/or chromatography which are known to those of skill in the art. Such removal may occur from the composition comprising free fatty acid salts of very long chain
- polyunsaturated fatty acids or the composition comprising free fatty acids of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
- Such solvent is generally added in an amount of between 0.5 and 8 liters, preferably between 1 and 4 liters, per kilogram of oil composition.
- the amount of water present will depend upon the particular reactants selected and can be readily optimized by one of ordinary skill in the art.
- the base employed comprises potassium hydroxide, although other bases such as sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lithium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate and lithium bicarbonate may also be employed.
- bases such as sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lithium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate and lithium bicarbonate may also be employed.
- Such base(s) is added in an amount sufficient to obtain a complete hydrolysis of the oil.
- a benefit of using potassium hydroxide is that it can readily be dissolved both in ambient ethanol and water, adding flexibility in order to obtain the desired water content of the solvent without unnecessarily increasing the total solvent volume.
- the base(s) employed comprises a lithium salt such as lithium carbonate, lithium bicarbonate or lithium hydroxide.
- the lithium salt may be employed as a hydrate, for example lithium hydroxide monohydrate.
- Such lithium salt(s) are typically employed in the form of an aqueous solution, although such salt may be added as a solid in the event that such salt is soluble in the particular organic solvent employed.
- lithium hydroxide may be employed as a solid when ethanol is used as the organic solvent.
- the oil composition, lithium salt and organic solvent are blended until lithium salts of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids present in the oil composition are formed.
- Such blending may range from several minutes or less to several hours or more, depending upon factors such as: the volume and concentration of the components, the particular components selected, the extent of agitation employed, the temperature selected, and the like.
- the components are mixed at a temperature of between about 15° C and 80° C for a period of between a few minutes up to 24 hours.
- step b) the composition comprising free fatty acid salts of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids formed in step a) is then subjected to conditions such a precipitate is formed.
- this involves cooling (or letting such composition cool) to a temperature of ambient or less than ambient, such as 10° C of less and even to about 0° C or less.
- An alternative procedure in order to remove the monounsaturated fatty acids and other undesired components would also be to remove the precipitate that is formed at a relative high temperature, for example at 10-30° C, and then to reduce the volume of the reaction mixture in one or more steps by suitable evaporative processes before removal of one or several further fractions of precipitate.
- step c) the precipitate is removed in step c) to obtain a filtrate comprising free fatty acid salts of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. If desired, in the event that a lithium salt and a suitable starting material containing very long chain
- VLCMUFAs monounsaturated fatty acids
- either (i) the composition comprising free fatty acid salts of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids produced in step a) or (ii) the filtrate comprising free fatty acid salts of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids produced in step c) may be treated with a lipophilic solvent to reduce the amount of unsaponifiable material present. Due to their lipophilic character, materials such as cholesterol as well as the pollutants like DDT, PCB, dioxins and PBDE are typically associated with such unsaponifiable material. Lipophilic solvents which are typically employed include ethyl acetate, hexane and carbon dioxide.
- the lipophilic solvent could also include esters of fatty acids, for example fatty acids ethyl esters or fatty acid triglycerides.
- This latter group of solvent could include fatty acid ethyl ester (fractions) from fish oil and other edible oils as well as fish oil or edible oil triglycerides (for example, soybean oil).
- step d) of the process of this invention the flitrate comprising free fatty acid salts of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids is reacted with an acid to form a composition comprising very long chain polyunsaturated free fatty acids.
- step B the composition comprising free fatty acid salts of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids formed in step A) is reacted with an acid.
- Acids which are typically employed include citric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and the like.
- step d) (or step B)) are then concentrated to form enriched compositions of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
- concentration may be accomplished employing processes such as distillation, extraction, enzymatic processing, chromatography and/or other fractionation methods known to one of skill in the art. Employing such technologies, compositions containing 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30% or more VLCPUFA by weight can be obtained.
- the present invention is directed to a method of separating VLCPUFAs having different degrees of unsaturation by employing urea fractionation.
- urea fractionation represents a valuable tool for commercial manufacture of concentrates of C20-C22 omega-3 fatty acids, like EPA and DHA.
- urea C20-C22 omega-3 fatty acids
- fractionation is typically employed to remove saturated and lesser unsaturated fatty acids from such PUFAs, resulting in an increased concentration of such PUFAs.
- urea fractionation is ineffective to similarly increase the total concentration of VLCPUFAs. In addition to the removal of high molecular weight components by distillation, this may be one reason why significant concentrations of VLCPUFAs are not observed in commercial omega-3 concentrates.
- urea fractionation may be effectively employed to achieve isolated fractions of fatty acids within each group of VLCPUFAs with identical chain length.
- the relative content of the most unsaturated VLCPUFAs within each chain length may be increased in the non-urea complexing fraction, while the relative content of the less unsaturated VLCPUFAs at the same time may be increased in the urea complexing fraction of the fatty acids.
- the fatty acids with the lowest number of double bonds can be step-wise isolated from a mixture comprising C28:4n3, C28:5n3, C28:6n3, C28:7n3 and C28:8n3 VLCPUFAs as urea adducts (UA), while the fatty acids with the highest degree of unsaturation, especially C28:8n3, remain in the non-urea adduct (NUA) fraction to a large extent.
- NUA non-urea adduct
- compositions comprising at least 5% by weight; at least 8% by weight or at least 10% by weight of C28:7 and/or C28:8 very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids can be produced. At the same time fractions enriched in C28:4n3, C28:5n3 and/or C28:6n3 may also be produced. Similarly, compositions comprising fractions enriched in C24:5n3 and/or C24:6n3 may also be produced. Such urea fractionation is conducted under conditions typically employed for the relevant starting material, which conditions are well known or can be readily determined by one of skill in the art.
- urea fractionation is disclosed in EP 255,824 Bl and in Breivik H (2007) Concentrates; in Breivik H (ed) Long-Chain Omega-3 Specialty Oils. The Oily Press, PJ Barnes & Associates, Bridgwater, UK, pp 111-140, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- Urea is typically added in amounts (ranging from 0.3 to 5 parts by weight per part of weight of oil) under reaction conditions (for example at temperature between ambient and 80° C) for periods of time typically employed in the concentrate of commercial concentrated PUFA compositions.

- Example 1 Herring oil was reacted to form ethyl esters.
- the ethyl esters were passed once through a short path distillation apparatus in order to reduce the content of shorter chain fatty acid ethyl esters.
- a residue of 19 % was collected and utilized as starting material for the next fractionation step.
- 40 grams of this residue were dissolved in 40 ml 96 % ethanol and reacted with 24 ml 5N KOH and 48 ml 5N LiOH.
- the reaction mixture was kept at 40° C overnight, and then cooled in an ice bath for 4 hours. After removal of precipitated lithium salts by filtration, the filtrate was acidified with aqueous citric acid and 5.54 g free fatty acids were isolated (14 % yield).
- the content of the ethyl esters of short chain fatty acids of the ethylated herring oil described in column 2 of Table 1 was reduced by a two-step distillation procedure, using short path distillation (VTA, model VK83-6-SKR-G with degasser).
- VTA short path distillation
- the first distillation took place at temperature of 113° C, a flow of 7.4 kg/h and a vacuum of 0.01 mbar. This procedure gave a distillate of 30.1 % and a residue of 69.9 %.
- the residue from this distillation was passed once more through the distillation still, using the same flow and vacuum, but this time at a
- Example 2 The same herring oil starting material employed in Example 2 was subjected to the two- step initial distillation process described in such Example to obtain a second distillation residue (the analysis of the starting herring oil and of the second distillate are presented in columns 2 and 3 of Table 2, respectively).
- This product (90 g) was distilled using a short path distillation still (VTA, model VKL- 70-4-SKR-T) at a temperature of 110° C a flow of 5.5 ml/min and a pressure of 10 "3 mbar.
- the residue from this distillation was passed twice through the same distillation still, at 125 °C at a flow of 5.5 ml/min and a pressure of 10 "3 mbar.
- the distillation gave a final residue of 29 g.
- the composition of ethyl esters of this final distillation residue is given in column 5 of Table 2.
- the sodium fractionated product in column 4 of Table 2 contained about 3.42% of quantified VLCn3s, and a total of 67.55% omega-3 acids (all analyzed as GC area %).
- the final residue after distillation of this product contained 7.06% identified C24-C30 VLCn3s and a total of 78.28%) omega-3 acids.
- Omega-3 DP A (all-cw- 7, 10,13, 16,19-docosapenatenoic acid ) is an important omega-3 fatty acids, and there are very few, if any, commercially available omega-3 products that contain such high amounts of this fatty acid.
- Omega-3 DPA (all-czs-7, 10,13, 16, 19-docosapenatenoic acid ) is an important omega-3 fatty acid, and there are very few, if any, commercially available omega-3 products that contain such high amounts of this fatty acid.
- algal oils/single cell oils often contain significant contents of another DPA acid (a ⁇ -cis 4,7,10, 13, 16,-docosapentaenoic acid).
- Example 6 2040 g of the residue from the final commercial scale distillation of an ethylated sardine and mackerel oil utilized to produce an omega-3-acid concentrate containing about 36% EPA and about 26% DHA was hydrolyzed by heating for 80° C for 1 hours in 4.0 kg of 90% ethanol containing 367 g sodium hydroxide.
- the composition of this residue starting material is presented in Table 5. After cooling to 20° C, removal of some precipitate by filtration and acidification, 1584 g of an oily product was isolated. The composition of this Oily Product is also presented in Table 5.
- the residue fraction was then distilled at 170° C and 0.003 mbar, at a flow of 5.5 ml/min to take the VLCPUFA in the distillate fraction, leaving heavy components in the residue.
- the double distilled oil (“Distillate”) (50 gram) had a composition given in Table 5.
- the product contained 9.54% of identified VLCPUFAs, and a total of 87,68 % of omega-3 acids.
- the content of the ethyl esters of short chain fatty acids of the mackerel oil described in column 2 of Table 6 was reduced by a two-step distillation procedure, using short path distillation (VTA, model VK83-6-SKR-G with degasser). A flow of 6 kg/h and a vacuum of 0.02 mbar. The temperature in the first column was 125 °C, while the temperature in the second column was 139° C. This procedure gave a distillate 1 of 55.4%. A distillate 2 of 34.5% and a residue 2 of 10.1% was obtained. The composition of ethyl esters of this residue 2 is given in column 3 of Table 6 below.
- Residue Fraction has the fatty acid profile given in column 5 of Table 6.
- the double distilled oil (Distillate) (150 g) had the composition given in column 6 of Table 6.
- the product contained 7.41% of identified VLCPUFAs, and a total of 70.99 % of omega-3 acids. This experiment shows that it is possible to distill of the VLCPUFA in a short path distillator, this is an important step for removing heavy components from the oil and improve the purity and color of the oil.
- the product contained 7.41% of identified VLCPUFAs, and a total of 70.99% of omega-3 acids.
- Precipitated material (the second filtration urea adducts or UA2) was removed by filtration.
- the isolated urea adducts (UA1 and UA2) were acidified with 4N HC1 and extracted with hexane/water. The hexane was removed by evaporation at reduced pressure. In this way 10.3 g free fatty acids were isolated from the urea adducts from the first filtration UA1; and 1.51 g free fatty acids were isolated from the urea adducts from the second filtration UA2.
- Table 8 shows that C26:4n3 and C28:4n3 were not found in the NUA product, while C28:8n3 is up-concentrated in the NUA.
- Example 9 the free fatty acid starting material employed in Example 9 was stirred in 200 ml 96 % and 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 weight parts of urea at 80°C for 1.5 h.
- urea fractionation can be used as a tool in order to separate VLCPUFAs with the same chain length: C24:5n3 is separated from C24:6n3 and C28:8n3 is separated from C28n3-acids with a lower degree of unsaturation.
- this method results in a relative separation of fatty acids within each group of VLCPUFAs with identical chain length.
- urea fractionation surprisingly may be utilized as a relatively low- cost alternative to the manufacture of - for example - substantially pure C28:8n3 from a mixture of C28 omega-3 acids.
