& gamma;-linolenic acid
& gamma;-Linolenic acid, or 18-carbon trienoic acid, is one of the essential fatty acids for the human body. It is a precursor substance for the synthesis of a series of prostaglandins in the human body. It can be used in the fields of medicine, food, cosmetics and feed.
& gamma;-Linolenic acid is widely found in nature and is rich in spore plants and seed plants. As early as 1919, Heidushka and others discovered the isomer of α-linolenic acid from evening primrose seed oil and named it & gamma;-linolenic acid. It not only exists in the willow family evening primrose (oerothera biennis.L), but also exists in Borage officinaliv.L and black Currant. It is found in certain ciliated protozoa, spirulina and Chlorella. Many microorganisms such as Mortierella (Mortiella) and Mucor (Mucor) in marginal fungi can be synthesized & gamma;-linolenic acid.
At the end of the 40s, Albercht et al. first discovered & gamma;-linolenic acid from the marginal body fat of Bracker (phyconyces blakesleeanus). In the mid-60s, shan et al. found that strains of the class Algae contained & gamma;-linolenic acid. In the 1980s, with the study of & gamma;-the physiological activity of linolenic acid, the use of microbial research and development & gamma;-linolenic acid attracted attention.
China's research and development in this field was relatively late. In 1988, Shanghai Institute of Industrial Microbiology used a kind of Mucor fermentation to produce & gamma;-linolenic acid, its biomass is 3% ~ 5%, total fat rate is 40% ~ 50%,& gamma;-linolenic acid content is 7% ~ 9%.
& gamma;-In addition to treating human cardiovascular diseases in medicine, linolenic acid also has a certain weight loss effect. It can be used as an active ingredient in the production of health food or as a food additive added to beverages, fruit juices, fruit jelly, Biscuits, chocolate, chewing gum and other foods, especially can be used to make baby food fortifiers, manufacturing & gamma;-Linolenic acid infant nutritional milk powder and nutritional milk powder suitable for pregnant and lactating women. It can also be applied to feed and cosmetics. Fermentation production & gamma;-The research and development prospects of linolenic acid are broad.
Toxicity
the minimum lethal dose is 2g/kg (above) (rats, oral for 14 days).
Subacute test (500mg/kg,13 weeks), chromosome abnormality test and variation test were negative.
Production method
It is obtained by hydrolysis and fractionation of linseed oil.
70% ~ 80% linoleic acid and 10% ~ 15% & gamma can be separated from evening primrose seeds (containing oil 20% ~ 25%) by conventional methods. Linoleic acid. If treated twice by Candida crumpled lipase, & gamma;-Linoleic acid content can be increased from 22.2% to 59.0%.
modern microbial fermentation is mostly used for production. For example, the dried mycelium (which can contain up to 35% oil, including & gamma;-linolenic acid accounts for more than 18% of fatty acids) is obtained after three types of circinelloides (using glucose as carbon source) (using glucose as carbon source) are cultured with Mucor filamentous fungus (Mucor;-Linolenic acid accounts for more than of fatty acids), crude oil is extracted with hexane, and then refined according to the general method.
in order to prevent oxidation, the finished product should be stored at low temperature after being sealed with nitrogen and sealed from sunlight and air. It is best to encapsulate directly with soft capsules. The minimum lethal dose is 2g/kg (above) (rats, oral for 14 days).
subacute test (500mg/kg,13 weeks), chromosome abnormality test and variation test were all negative.
