Abstract
Organic materials, comprising a mixture of at least two products (I) and (II), both containing isomers of conjugated long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid moieties L and L can be obtained by subjecting an organic material, selected from free fatty acids, mono-, di- or tri-glycerides, phospholipids, alkyl esters or wax-esters containing at least 5 weight % of these conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids, to an enzymatic conversion using an enzyme that can discriminate between L and L , so that the original weight ratio of L /L =X in the starting material is increased to X wherein X ≧than 1.1 X .
