Preferably, the microbial oil has a triglyceride content of greater than or equal to 70% by weight, and a saturated fatty acid content of less than or equal to 40% by weight. Moreover, a lower alcohol ester of dihomo-y-linolenic acid or a free fatty acid of dihomo-y-linolenic acid obtained from the microbial oil is provided. 10417418_1 (GHMattes) P103123.AU.1
