Abstract:
1. A process for producing oil containing eicosapentaenoic acid and docosapentaenoic acid, comprising the steps of obtaining a transgenic Brassica or Arabidopsis plant seed comprising eicosapentaenoic acid and docosapentaenoic acid, wherein the total fatty acid of the transgenic seed comprises at least 2.5% ω3 C20 fatty acids (w/w) and wherein the docosapentaenoic acid is present at a level based on a conversion ratio of eicosapentaenoic acid to docosapentaenoic acid of at least 5% (w/w), and extracting oil from the transgenic Brassica or Arabidopsis plant seed so as to thereby produce the oil.
