ARA-Rich Single Cell Oil
Mortierella alpina Oil
Refined Arachidonic Acid-Rich Oil (RAO)

DESCRIPTION

ARA from Fungal (Mortierella alpina) Oil occurs as a clear, yellow-colored oil providing a source of arachidonic acid (ARA, C20H32O2) (C20:4 n-6), an omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid. It is obtained from fermentation of the species of fungus Mortierella alpina usually followed by solvent extraction. The oil may be winterized, bleached, and deodorized to substantially remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, odor and flavor components, and other material. Arachidonic acid is the main polyunsaturated fatty acid present; ARA content may be standardized with other oils. Suitable antioxidants may be added.
