RETRACTED: A process for high yield and scaleable recovery of high purity eicosapentaenoic acid esters from microalgae and fish oil

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal ( http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy ). Reason: It duplicates significant parts of a paper that has already been published by the same authors in Enzyme Microb. Technol., volume 26 (2000) 516–529, doi: 10.1016/S0141-0229(99)00191-X . One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that the paper is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and we apologize to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
