PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a novel composition containing a high content of C16: 1 fatty acid and having a low content of C16: 0 fatty acid and / or C18: 1 fatty acid. The weight ratio of C16: 1 fatty acids to C16: 0 fatty acids containing from 20 to 65% by weight of C16: 1 fatty acids, the balance being other fatty acids having from 12 to 24 carbon atoms, greater than 2.0. And C1 for C18: 1 fatty acids greater than 1.2 Blends of glycerides and / or fatty acids, having a weight ratio of 6: 1 fatty acids, perform well in food applications and are enzymatically derived from fish oil using enzymes having specificity for C16: 1. It can be produced by a method including partial hydrolysis, removal of fatty acids and fractionation of the fatty acids. |
