1. A process for producing a triglyceride oil from a microalgae, the process comprising:

  • (i) cultivating a recombinant oleaginous microalgal cell comprising exogenous nucleic acids encoding a KAS (keto-acyl ACP synthase) or wherein nucleic acids encoding an endogenous KAS are disrupted by homologous recombination to produce said triglyceride oil; and

    (ii) isolating said triglyceride oil from said recombinant oleaginous microalgal cell,wherein said triglyceride oil has a fatty acid profile that is at least 40% saturated fatty acids, and said fatty acid profile of said triglyceride oil comprises at least;

    10% C8;

    0, 20% C10;

    0, 50% C12;

    0, 40% C14;

    0, 60% C16;

    0, or 30% C18;
