Sphingoid esters from the molecular distillation of squid oil: A preliminary bioactivity determination

A mixture of sphingoid esters was isolated (1.4% w/w) from the molecular distillation of crude squid visceral oil. A preliminary investigation on the bioactivity profile and toxic potential of this residue was carried out by in vitro experiments. No cytotoxicity and a moderate lipase inhibition activity were highlighted. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
