Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process for extracting, recovering, isolating or obtaining lipids from microorganisms.SOLUTION: The present invention provides a method for extracting lipids from microorganisms without using a nonpolar organic solvent as an extraction solvent. In particular, the present invention provides a method for extracting lipids from microorganisms by lysing cells and removing water soluble compound and/or materials by washing the lysed cell mixtures with aqueous washing solutions until a substantially non-emulsified lipid is obtained.
