There are provided polyunsaturated fatty acids-containing oils/fats or triglycerides with high digestion and absorption properties and resistance to oxidative damage, which are suitable for applications in fields such as modified milk for infants, food products and healthy foods and/or supplements, produced by transesterification of polyunsaturated fatty acids-containing oils/fats or triglycerides with vegetable oils/fats or triglycerides using 1,3-position specific type lipases.

Process for production of transesterified oils/fats or triglycerides

The present invention provides a method of efficiently and stably producing LCPUFA-PL. Specifically, the invention provides a method for producing phospholipids that contain LCPUFA as a constituent (LCPUFA-PL), wherein lipid producing cells producing lipids that contain long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are used as a starting material, the method including a PL extracting step of extracting phospholipids (PL) from defatted cells obtained by extracting triglyceride (TG)-containing oil or fat from the lipid producing cells.

Phospholipids including long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids as constituents, and use of such phospholipids

The present invention relates to a production method of an oil containing triglyceride in which medium chain fatty acids are bound to the 1- and 3-positions of the triglyceride and polyunsaturated fatty acid is bound to the 2 position by allowing lipase, which specifically acts on ester bonds at the 1- and 3-positions that has been immobilized on a porous ion exchange resin support having a pore size of about 100 Angstroms or more, to act on a mixture of medium-chain fatty acids and raw material oil containing at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid selected from the group consisting of &#x3c9;6 series polyunsaturated fatty acid having 18 or more carbon atoms and 3 or more double bonds and &#x3c9;9 series polyunsaturated fatty acid having 18 or more carbon atoms and 2 or more double bonds, but not containing &#x3c9;3 series polyunsaturated fatty acid, oils and fats or triglycerides obtained by that method, and the use of the oils and fats or triglycerides in a food, beverage or pharmaceutical composition.

Production method of oil or fat containing polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing triglyceride

A process for producing a crude oil having lowered unsaponifiable matter content and/or ester-type sterol content and comprising a highly unsaturated fatty acid as a constituent fatty acid, characterized in that a microorganism capable of producing a fat or oil comprising an unsaturated fatty acid as a constituent fatty acid is cultured in a medium containing a nitrogen source concentration of 2 to 15% within a culture tank equipped with an agitation impeller satisfying the requirement that the ratio of the diameter of agitation impeller (=d) to the inner diameter of the culture tank (=D) is d/D=0.30 to 0.6.

Quinazoline derivatives and applications thereof

Imidazolidine derivative and use thereof

A peroxidase gene derived from Arthromyse ramosus and its cloning and expression in E. coli and yeast is disclosed. The peroxidase encoded by this gene is not-specific and does not contain isozymes and hence is suitable as a diagnostic reagent or as a marker enzyme in enzyme innunoassays.

Peroxidase gene of microbial origin

A novel N-substituted peptidyl compound represented by the general formula (1): ##STR1## where R.sub.1 is a straight-chained or branched acyl group having 2-10 carbon atoms, a branched, cyclic or partly branched cyclic alkyloxycarbonyl group having 4-15 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted benzyloxycarbonyl group, a 2,2,2-trichloroethyloxycarbonyl group, a 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyloxycarbonyl group, a p-toluensulfonyl group, an o-nitrophenylsulfenyl group, a diphenylphosphonothioyl group, a triphenylmethyl group, a 2-benzoyl-1-methylvinyl group or a 4-phenylbutyryl group; R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom or when taken together with R.sub.1, may form a phthaloyl group; R.sub.3 is an isobutyl group, a n-butyl group or an isopropyl group; R.sub.4 is a butyl group, a benzyl group or a methylthioethyl group; and R.sub.5 is a hydrogen atom or a chloromethyl group, which inhibits the activity of cysteine proteinases.
