About this document

Isolating Fatty Acids from Calanus Oil by Fauzi Rahmad is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This research article presents a simple method for isolating fatty acids and fatty alcohols from wax esters in Calanus finmarchicus oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. The method utilizes solid phase extraction to separate wax esters from other lipids, followed by hydrolysis to yield native fatty acids and fatty alcohols without oxidation or methylation. The isolated compounds can be used for further studies on their metabolic effects, providing a potential new avenue for marine nutraceuticals.
