Abstract

The invention discloses a process capable of simultaneously producing and separating high-purity EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) ethyl ester and high-purity DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) ethyl ester. With crude fish oil as raw material, supercritical fluid extraction, base catalysis and esterification, supercritical counter-current extraction, urea clathration and supercritical rectification are carried out, and EPA ethyl ester and DHA ethyl ester with the purity being more than 90% are obtained respectively. By adopting the process disclosed by the invention, the EPA ethyl ester and the DHA ethyl ester can be effectively purified and separated, and the contents of the obtained EPA ethyl ester and DHA ethyl ester are respectively more than 90%; and no residual solvent exists in the product, preoxidation value is less than 2meq / kg, anisidine value is less than 10, acid value is less than 0.5mgKOH / g, polymer is less than 0.2%, no stearin is contained, and the defects of the prior art that cost is high, process is complex, long time is consumed and safety is difficult to guarantee can be overcome.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a purification technology of unsaturated fatty acid, in particular to a process for simultaneous production and separation of high-purity EPA ethyl ester and DHA ethyl ester. Background technique [0002] Fish oil contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and other unsaturated fatty acids (collectively referred to as Omega-3), which have the functions of preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, preventing Alzheimer's disease and inhibiting tumors. Etc. curative effect. High-purity EPA ethyl ester can also be used as a raw material in the field of medicine and pharmacy. For example, the drug AMR101 developed by Amarin uses EPA ethyl ester with a purity greater than 96%. This drug is used for the treatment of high triglycerides and mixed dyslipidemia. It has entered the third phase of clinical trials. This drug will become the only Prescription-grade omega-3 fatty acids for ...
