Enzymatic Enrichment of Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) in Oil from EEL (Monopterus Albus)

Docosahexaenoic acid, DHA is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that has shown some medical and health benefits At present, the most common sources of DHA are fish lipids The lipids of coldwater fishes are typically high in DHA and these lipids are widely used as food supplements However, for certain...
