Abstract

Recently, a simple method for the extraction of lipids from wet microalgae using liquefied dimethyl ether (DME) without drying, cell disruption, or heating was proposed. Herein, the versatility of this method was evaluated using Aurantiochytrium limacinum at 0.51 MPa and 20°C. Direct extraction of lipids from A. limacinum of moisture-rich microorganism was successfully achieved, in a lipid extraction yield of 46.1 wt% of the dry weight of the sample. On the other hands, the yields of lipid were 21.3 wt%, 43.6 wt% and 50.7 wt% by supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) extraction, Hexane-Soxhlet extraction and Bligh-Dyer (BD) extraction as conventional method. However, SCCO2, hexane and BD methods, which incorporates drying and cell-disruption. The carbon and hydrogen content were improved after DME extraction. In addition, 86.7 wt% of water in the wet A. limacinum was removed. Compared with other extraction methods, liquefied DME combines drying, cell-disruption, and solvent extraction into one step.
