A commercial lipase preparation from Rhizopus niveus was used to concentrate the omega‐3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) component in fish oil. The DHA content of cod‐liver oil was 9.64% (w/w) of total fatty acids. Enzymatic digestion conditions were established which produced a DHA content in the monoglycerides fraction of 29.17% (w/w) of total fatty acid, triglyceride, and diglyceride components were 5.72, 9.95, and 15316%, respectively.
