New Lipids.—Studies, mainly by Mikolajczak and Smith,have unravelled the structures of the unusual alcohols in the cyano-lipids (13—55%) which accompany the more conventional triglycerides in several sapindaceous seed oils and in one borage. The branched-chain Cg cyano-alcohols (12)—(15) occur as mono- or di-acyl derivatives... 

Borage oil (22% GLA) is hydrolysed completely Pseudomonas species, 35°C, 24 h) and the borage acids are selectively esterified with lauric alcohol in the presence of Rhizopus delemar lipase at 30 C for 20 h. The latter enzyme discriminates against GLA and this concentrates in the unesterified acids fraction, which finally contains 70% GLA (74% recovery). If the esterification is repeated (using Candida rugosa lipase, 35 C, 15 h), 94% GLA is obtained with 68% recovery (Shimada et al 1997).
