Abstract
Organic materials, comprising a mixture of at least two products (I) and (II), both containing isomers of conjugated long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids moieties (L ) and (L ) can be obtained by subjecting an organic material, selected from free fatty acids, mono-, di- or triglycerides, phospholipids, alkylesters or wax-esters, containing at least 5 wt. % of these conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids, to an enzymic conversion (acidolysis, alcoholysis, esterification, hydrolysis) using an enzyme that can be discriminated between (L ) and (L ), so that original ratio L /L =X in starting material is increased to X , wherein X ≧1.1 X .
