Processes are disclosed for obtaining a lipid from a cell by lysing the cell to form a lysed cell composition, adding an acid to lower the pH of the lysed cell composition, and demulsify the lysed cell composition, and obtaining the lipid from the demulsified lysed cell composition. Also disclosed are lipids prepared by the processes of the present invention wherein the lipids have a particular anisidine value, peroxide value, and/or phosphorus content.
