Polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential, health-promoting nutrients that are widely used in medicine, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, nutrition, and other fields. Suitable plant and animal sources for these lipids are limited, but alternatives have been actively researched and developed in the last three decades, especially those produced microbiologically. The omega-6 fatty acid segment is mainly segmented into Linolenic Acid and Arachidonic Acid. Another omega-6 fatty acid whose interest in the nutraceutical industry is rising is Dihomo-Gama Linoleic Acid. In contrast to Arachidonic Acid, Dihomo-Gama Linoleic Acid normally occurs only as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of Arachidonic Acid in higher plants or fungi and algae. Arachidonic acid and Dihomo-Gama Linoleic Acid are both an essential substance for the human body.
Arachidonic acid is one of the most valuable among nutraceutical lipids, being associated with the proper development of the central nervous system and the enhancement of the immune response. In addition, Arachidonic Acid can contribute to skeletal muscle building and repair. Dihomo-Gama Linoleic Acid is also a strong anti-inflammatory agent. Lastly, both fatty acids, Dihomo-Gama Linoleic Acid and Arachidonic Acid, can contribute to the sport and baby nutrition industries.

Dihomo-Gama Linoleic Acid and Arachidonic Acid will be commercially produced on the third quarter of 2021, with commercial production rights through Ben Gurion University.
