Abstract

EPA and DHA extracted from methyl esterified squid oil were purified by silver exchanged resin, silver nitrate-impregnated silica gel, silver exchanged zeolite, and silica gel column chromatography, among which column chromatography using mixture of silver exchanged resin and silica gel (10% by weight) showed the best result. By this simple purification method, EPA and DHA were concentrated from 12.5 to 27.9% (yield, 86,0%) and from 21.7 to 49.5% (yield, 87.3%), respectively. Silver exchanged resin had additional advantages of outstanding reusability and simple recovery of silver.

은 이온이 불포화 지방산과의 착화합물을 만든다는 이론에 근거하여 은 이온 교환수지(SER)를 제조하였다. 제조한 SER을 비롯하여 silica gel, 질산은 함침 silica gel, 은 이온 제올라이트를 column 충전물로 사용하여 EPA와 DHA를 분리 농축하고 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다. SER과 silica gel의 9 : 1(w/w)혼합물을 충전물로 사용하였을 때 결과가 가장 좋았으며 이 경우 EPA와 DHA는 각각 27.9%와 49.1%로 농축되었고 수율은 각각 86.0%, 87.3%로 나타났다. SER만을 사용한 경우 EPA와 DHA는 각각 23.5%와 42.1%로 농축되었으며 이는 SER과 silica gel의 혼합 충전물 사용 시 보다 다소 낮은 결과이었다. 질산은 함침 silica gel의 경우 다른 충전물과 비교하여 농축율과 수율이 그다지 좋지 않았으나 EPA와 DHA의 분리 측면에서는 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. SER은 재사용이 가능하고, 사용한 은 이온수지 자체도 쉽게 재생할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 사용한 은 이온도 AgCl 침전이나 $AgNO_3$로 회수가 용이하다는 점에서 다른 농축과정과 비교하여 훨씬 경제적이라 할 수 있다.
