Summary: | 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.
L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'extraire des lipides de micro-organismes sans utiliser de solvant organique non polaire comme solvant d'extraction. L'invention concerne, en particulier, un procédé permettant d'extraire des lipides de micro-organismes par lyse de cellules, et élimination d'un composé et/ou de matériaux solubles dans l'eau par lavage des mélanges des cellules lysées à l'aide de solutions de lavage aqueuses jusqu'à ce qu'on obtienne un lipide sensiblement émulsionné. |
