ABSTRACT
γ-linolenic acid is an essential
omega-6 unsaturated fatty acid made in the human body from linoleic
acid. It can be metabolized to various important eicosanoids and
it is also a precursor of prostaglandin E and several other active
substances that are associated with anti-inflammatory properties.
Arthrospira platensis is
known to contain relatively large quantities of γ-linolenic
acid. The aim of this study was to investigate the optimal parameters
under a continuous preparation method of γ-linolenic acid from
A. platensis using supercritical carbon dioxide technology.
A Box-Behnken experimental design and response surface methodology
were used to optimize combinations among pressure (10, 20 and 30
MPa), temperature (40, 50 and 60°C) and flow rate of A.
platensis extract liquor (1, 2 and 3 mL/min) for yield of γ-linolenic
acid. The results showed that the extraction of γ-linolenic
acid from A. platensis was optimized at a temperature of
60°C, a pressure of 30 MPa and a flow rate of 3 mL/min. These
parameters could be used as a basis for facilitating future scale-up
industrial applications.

ABSTRAK
Asid linolenik γ adalah asid lemak
tak tepu penting omega-6 yang dihasilkan dalam tubuh manusia daripada
asid linolik. Ia boleh dimetabolismakan untuk pelbagai eicosanoid
penting dan ia juga merupakan pelopor prostaglandin E dan beberapa
bahan aktif lain yang berkaitan dengan sifat anti-radang. Arthrospira platensis diketahui
mengandungi kuantiti asid Linolenik γ yang agak besar. Kajian
ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji parameter optimum dengan kaedah penyediaan
berterusan asid Linolenik γ daripada A. platensis menggunakan
teknologi supergenting karbon dioksida. Satu reka bentuk eksperimen
Box-Behnken dan kaedah gerak balas permukaan digunakan untuk mengoptimumkan
gabungan antara tekanan (10, 20 dan 30 MPa), suhu (40, 50 dan 60°C)
serta kadar aliran cecair ekstrak A. platensis (1, 2 dan
3 mL/min) untuk hasil asid Linolenik γ. Keputusan menunjukkan
pengekstrakan asid linolenik γ daripada A. platensis dioptimumkan
pada suhu 60°C, tekanan pada 30 MPa dan kadar aliran 3 mL/min.
Parameter ini boleh digunakan sebagai asas bagi tujuan memberi kemudahan
kepada aplikasi industri pada masa hadapan.
