Exploitation of Soybean Oil Acid Degumming Waste: Biocatalytic Synthesis of High Value Phospholipids

Abstract The acid degumming waste of the seeds oil refining industry is currently disposed of, but, instead, it could be exploited as an important source for preparation many products. In this work, coming from soybean step was first recovered and treated, allowing isolation a fraction enriched phospholipids (PLs). Then, latter transformed, via enzymatic reaction catalysed by phospholipase D (from S treptomyces netropsis ), into more valuable products: polar head modified PLs‐enriched mixtures containing phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) phosphatidylhydroxybutyrate (PB). following we show how biocatalysis can production value‐added PLs, to used functional food nutraceutical ingredients, renewable feedstock. This alternative industrial usual disposal procedures should impart whole process greater value in terms carbon recycling, agreement with paradigms bioeconomy wiser reuse resources circular economy perspective.
