Lipids are produced with a 60 wt % yield in terms of dry biomass in the course of fermentation of oleaginous fungi at 27–28°C for 4–5 days. Triglycerides are extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide in a flow regime at 80–100°C and 50 MPa. The fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) are synthesized via a two-step transesterification of triglycerides with a 98% yield. It is demonstrated using a combined method of chromatography-mass spectrometry that the fatty acid composition of the fungal lipids from Cunninghamella echinulata is close to that of rapeseed oil.
