Procedure
The lipid thus obtained contains 8,11-eicosadienoic acid as a component of the lipid such as fat. Although 8,11-eicosadienoic can be directly isolated, preferably it is isolated as an ester with a lower alcohol, for example, as methyl 8,11-eicosadienoate. The esterification accelerates the separation of the target fatty acid from other lipid components, and from other fatty acids produced during the culturing, such as parmitic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid (these fatty acids are also esterified simultaneously with the esterification of 8,11-eicosadienoic acid). For example, to obtain methyl ester of 8,11-eicosadienoic acid, the above-mentioned extract is treated with anhydrous methanol/HCl 5 to 10%, or BF3 /methanol 10 to 50% at room temperature for 1 to 24 hours.
