The present invention relates to lipid comprising docosapentaenoic acid and/or docosahexaenoic acid wherein the docosapentaenoic acid and/or docosahexaenoic acid may be preferentially esterified at the sn-2 position of triacylglycerol, and processes for producing and using the lipid.

Crystalline molecular framework:small molecule compounds. The molecular framework is formed from guanidinium cations and organosulfonate anions and the guanidinium cations and organosulfonate anions are associated via one or more hydrogen bond. The small molecule(s) is/are encapsulated by the molecular framework. Methods for making crystalline molecular framework:small molecule compounds may include combining guanidinium cations, organosulfonate anions, and small molecules in a single step. The crystalline molecular framework:small molecule compounds can be used to determine the structure of the small molecule(s).

The present invention discloses a method for recycling urea in the process of separating and purifying unsaturated substances through a urea adduction method. The method comprises the following steps: liposoluble substances containing target unsaturated components are used as raw materials, and subjected to urea adduction, crystallization and filtration to produce a filtrate, from which the specific unsaturated components are obtained; the urea adduct is dissolved in a polar solvent, and after the adducted adducts are layered and released, adding a certain solvent to the urea solution to adjust the polarity, then cooling for crystallization, and recycling the urea. The method can realize complete release of the adducted components and recycling and reuse of urea, and the process is simple, the recovery rate is high, and the adduction effect is not influenced when recycling urea for reuse, and the production cost of the urea adduct is reduced, thus alleviating the adverse impact of urea discharges on the environment.
