THE PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE CONTENT OF EPA INCHLORELLA HI RAT AII / 中国海洋药物

ABSTRACT

The article reported that the lipid and EPA were extracted from Chlorella hirataii and analyzed by GC method. The content of the lipid could be influenced by the time and conditions of the culture. The results showed that the content of EPA in the lipid of Chlorella hirataii was about 28 per cent and was higher than the content of EPA in fish oil. Therefore, Chlorella hirataii was a valuable resource rich in EPA.
