The present invention discloses a process for obtaining biologically active compositions from emu oil, wherein said compositions are obtained by molecular distillation of the oil, both the distillate and the distillation residue being biologically active compositions. More specifically, a process for obtaining biologically active compositions from refined emu oil is disclosed, which comprises the following steps: (a) feeding emu oil at a flow of between 1 to 300 kg/h*m2 to a molecular distillation column at a pressure between 0.0001 mbar and 0.05 mbar and at an evaporator temperature between 160 ºC and 250 ºC, for generating a distillate and a residue; and (b) collecting the distillate from the column, the distillate being a biologically active composition, and (c) collecting the residue from the column, the residue being a biologically active composition. |
