Abstract: The research on Extracting and Purification PUFA from turtle oil was studied in this article.The PUFA was extractedby interesterification and the best extracting conditions were:the rate of ethanol to turtle oil 0.73:1, sodium hydroxide 3%(of oilweight),reaction temperature 65℃,reaction time 2h. The PUFA was purified by urea inclusion and the best purification conditionswere: the rate of urea-ethanol saturation solution to fatty acid ethyl ester 15:1,mixing round time 3h,inclusion time 1.The resultshowed that high purified PUFA was made from turtle oil by interesterification and urea inclusion.

Key words: turtle oil, poly unsaturated fatty acid(PUFA), extract, purification
