Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the free fatty acid (FFA) derived from e nzymically hydrolyzed tuna oil was concentrated by partial titration a nd precipitation of other FFA as sodium salts with acetone. A triglyce ride containing up to 46.2% DHA was synthesized from the DHA rich glyc eride mixture and FFA by use of an immobilized Chromobacterium viscosu m lipase.
