A high-quality lipid composition is disclosed having low oxidative
deterioration such as measured by low anisidine values. Also disclosed
are methods of preparing the same from a lipid-containing material that
include enzymatic degradation of protein and/or carbohydrate components
of the material. Lipid-containing materials include biomass, such as
microorganisms. The invention further includes products containing the
lipid compositions, such as dietary supplements, food products,
pharmaceutical formulations, humanized animal milk, and infant formula.
