本発明は、ω－３高度不飽和脂肪酸含有組成物の製造方法に関する。
詳細には、ω－３高度不飽和脂肪酸エステルを含む原料を、リパーゼ、好ましくはRhizomucor miehei（リゾムコール・ミエヘイ）由来リパーゼで処理することによる、ドコサヘキサエン酸エステルおよびヘンエイコサペンタエン酸エステルが選択的に濃縮されて、ドコサヘキサエン酸エステルおよびヘンエイコサペンタエン酸エステルをともに十分な量含有するω－３高度不飽和脂肪酸含有組成物の製造方法及びドコサヘキサエン酸エステルおよびヘンエイコサペンタエン酸エステルをともに十分な量含有するω－３高度不飽和脂肪酸含有組成物に関する。
The present invention relates to a method for producing a composition containing ω-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids.
Specifically, docosahexaenoic acid ester and heneicosapentaenoic acid ester are selectively concentrated by treating a raw material containing omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid ester with lipase, preferably lipase derived from Rhizomucor miehei. A method for producing an ω-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid-containing composition containing sufficient amounts of both docosahexaenoic acid ester and heneicosapentaenoic acid ester, and a method for producing an ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing composition containing sufficient amounts of both docosahexaenoic acid ester and heneicosapentaenoic acid ester. -3 Concerning a highly unsaturated fatty acid-containing composition.
高度不飽和脂肪酸は、不飽和結合を２つ以上持つ脂肪酸であり、ω－６不飽和脂肪酸のリノール酸（ＬＡ、１８：２ｎ－６）、γ－リノレン酸（ＧＬＡ、１８：３ｎ－６）、アラキドン酸（ＡＲＡ、２０：４ｎ－６）、ω－３不飽和脂肪酸のα－リノレン酸（ＡＬＡ、１８：３ｎ－３）、エイコサペンタエン酸（ＥＰＡ、２０：５ｎ－３）、ドコサヘキサエン酸（ＤＨＡ、２２：６ｎ－３）などが挙げられる。高度不飽和脂肪酸は、生体膜の主要構成成分として膜の流動性の調節に関与するほか、生体機能性成分の前駆体としても重要である。 Highly unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids with two or more unsaturated bonds, and include the ω-6 unsaturated fatty acids linoleic acid (LA, 18:2n-6) and γ-linolenic acid (GLA, 18:3n-6). , arachidonic acid (ARA, 20:4n-6), ω-3 unsaturated fatty acids α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3), docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA, 22:6n-3) and the like. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are involved in regulating membrane fluidity as major constituents of biological membranes, and are also important as precursors of biologically functional components.
例えば、ω－３不飽和脂肪酸のＥＰＡは、高等動物内においてプロスタグランジン、トロンボキサン、ロイコトリエンなどの前駆体であり、血小板凝集阻害作用、血中中性脂肪低下作用、抗動脈硬化作用、血液粘度低下作用、血圧降下作用、抗炎症作用、抗腫瘍作用等の生理作用を有し、医薬品、食品、化粧品、飼料等の様々な分野に利用されている。また、ＤＨＡは脳内に最も多量に存在する高度不飽和脂肪酸であり、学習機能の向上、抗腫瘍、抗アレルギー等の優れた効果を有することが知られている。さらに、ＥＰＡ又はＤＨＡはアトピー性等の皮膚炎に対しても有効であることが知られている。そのため、ＥＰＡ、ＤＨＡ等のω-３高度不飽和脂肪酸はその広範な有効性から、食品、健康食品、医薬品として市販されている。 For example, EPA, an omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid, is a precursor of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes, etc. in higher animals, and has an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation, a blood neutral fat lowering effect, an antiarteriosclerosis effect, and a blood It has physiological effects such as viscosity lowering effect, blood pressure lowering effect, anti-inflammatory effect, and antitumor effect, and is used in various fields such as medicine, food, cosmetics, and feed. Furthermore, DHA is a highly unsaturated fatty acid that exists in the largest amount in the brain, and is known to have excellent effects such as improving learning function, antitumor, and antiallergy. Furthermore, EPA or DHA is known to be effective against dermatitis such as atopic dermatitis. Therefore, ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as EPA and DHA are commercially available as foods, health foods, and medicines due to their wide range of effectiveness.
ω－３高度不飽和脂肪酸は、二重結合を複数有するため、化学合成によって得ることは容易ではない。したがって、工業利用されるω－３高度不飽和脂肪酸のほとんどは、ω－３高度不飽和脂肪酸を豊富に含む海洋生物由来原料、例えば魚油などから抽出又は精製することによって製造されている。しかしながら、生物由来原料は、炭素数、二重結合の数や位置、さらには立体異性体の構成比などが異なる多種の脂肪酸の混合物であるため、目的とするＥＰＡやＤＨＡの含有量は必ずしも高くない。 Since ω-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids have multiple double bonds, it is not easy to obtain them by chemical synthesis. Therefore, most of the ω-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids used industrially are produced by extracting or refining raw materials derived from marine organisms, such as fish oil, which are rich in ω-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids. However, biological raw materials are a mixture of various fatty acids with different numbers of carbon atoms, number and position of double bonds, and even composition ratios of stereoisomers, so the target content of EPA and DHA is not necessarily high. do not have.
そのため、従来、生物由来原料からＥＰＡやＤＨＡを選択的に精製することが求められていた。特に、食品や医薬品の原料としてＥＰＡやＤＨＡを用いる場合、極力不純物がない高純度のＥＰＡやＤＨＡが求められている。また、海洋生物由来原料から精製したＥＰＡやＤＨＡは、微量でも不純物を含有すると強い魚臭を発散するため、従来のＥＰＡやＤＨＡを含有する食品や医薬品は、ＥＰＡやＤＨＡをカプセルに密封したり、マスキング剤とともに製剤化するなど、臭いの対策を施す必要があった。したがって、医薬品や健康食品の原料となり得るＥＰＡやＤＨＡを高純度に含有する組成物を簡便に製造することができる方法が求められている。 Therefore, it has conventionally been required to selectively purify EPA and DHA from biological raw materials. In particular, when EPA and DHA are used as raw materials for foods and medicines, highly pure EPA and DHA with as few impurities as possible are required. In addition, EPA and DHA purified from raw materials derived from marine organisms emit a strong fishy odor if they contain even a small amount of impurities. It was necessary to take measures against odor, such as formulating it with a masking agent. Therefore, there is a need for a method that can easily produce a composition containing highly purified EPA and DHA that can be used as raw materials for pharmaceuticals and health foods.
ω－３高度不飽和脂肪酸類の分離方法としては、例えば蒸留による方法が知られているが、炭素鎖が類似したω－３高度不飽和脂肪酸を分離するのは非効率であった。また、蒸
留における加熱によって熱異性体が増加するという問題があった。
As a method for separating ω-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids, for example, a method using distillation is known, but it is inefficient to separate ω-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids having similar carbon chains. Additionally, there was a problem in that thermal isomers increased due to heating during distillation.
ＤＨＡを選択的に濃縮するための蒸留以外の方法としては、以下の酵素を使用した方法が知られている。 As a method other than distillation for selectively concentrating DHA, the following method using an enzyme is known.
特許文献１には、遊離脂肪酸としてＥＰＡおよびＤＨＡを含有する海産油組成物を、リパーゼ触媒存在下でグリセロールでエステル化して、ＥＰＡのグリセリド体とＤＨＡの遊離体を得る方法が記載されている。 Patent Document 1 describes a method of obtaining a glyceride form of EPA and a free form of DHA by esterifying a marine oil composition containing EPA and DHA as free fatty acids with glycerol in the presence of a lipase catalyst.
