The present invention relates to processes for obtaining a lipid from a cell by lysing the cell to form a lysed cell composition and obtaining the lipid from the demulsified lysed cell composition. The invention is also directed to a lipid prepared by the processes of the present invention. The invention is also directed to microbial lipids having a particular anisidine value, peroxide value, and/or phosphorus content.
