Enzymatic synthesis of palm oil esters (POE) was carried out via alcoholysis of palm oil (PO) and oleyl alcohol (OA) catalyzed by Lipozyme TL IM. The optimum reaction conditions were: temperature: 60 °C; enzyme load: 24.7 wt%; substrate ratio: 1:3 (PO/OA), impeller speed: 275 rpm and reaction time: 3 h. At the optimum condition, the conversion of POE was 79.54%. Reusability study showed that Li...

enzymatic acidolysis of canola oil through caprylic acid was investigated to produce certain medium chain ttriacyliglycerol (tag) structured lipids (sls). lipozyme tl im, an sn-1,3 specific thermomyces lanuginosa lipase, and novozym 435, a non-specific candida antarctica lipase, were utilized as the biocatalysts in a batch reactor. reaction conditions were designed according to taguchi’s approa...

Structured Lipids are generally constituents of functional foods. Growing demands for SL are based on a fuller understanding of nutritional requirements, lipid metabolism, and improved methods to produce them. Specifically, this work was aimed to add value to avocado oil by producing dietary triacylglycerols (TAG) containing medium-chain fatty acids (M) at positions sn-1,3 and long-chain fatty ...

Phenyl fatty hydroxamic acids (PFHAs) were synthesized from canola or palm oils and phenyl hydroxylamine (FHA) catalyzed by Lipozyme TL IM or RM IM. The reaction was carried out by shaking the reaction mixture at 120 rpm. The optimization was carried out by changing the reaction parameters, namely; temperature, organic solvent, amount and kind of enzyme, period of reaction and the mol ratio of ...

Commercial lipases, from porcine pancreas (PPL), Candida rugosa (CRL), and Thermomyces lanuginosus (Lipozyme TL IM), were investigated in terms of their efficiency for the hydrolysis of safflower oil (SO) for the liberation of free linoleic acid (LA), used as a flavor precursor. Although PPL, under the optimized conditions, showed a high degree of hydrolysis (91.6%), its low tolerance towards h...

Este trabalho avaliou a influência de fatores que afetam a síntese de ésteres glicéricos, tais como: razão molar entre os reagentes, fonte de lipase e tipo de agente de ativação do suporte obtido pela técnica sol-gel. Foram empregadas preparações comerciais de lipases imobilizadas em partículas de polissiloxano-álcool polivinílico (POS-PVA) previamente ativadas com diferentes agentes (glutarald...

enzymatic acidolysis of canola oil through caprylic and capric acids was investigated for making structured lipids. lipozyme tl im, an sn-1,3 specific thermomyce slanuginosa lipase, was utilized as the biocatalyst in the batch reactor. reaction conditions were designed according to taguchi’s method considering fatty acid to oil ratio, at three levels (1:1, 2:1, 3:1) , enzyme load (4, 8 and, 12%...

Lipozyme TL IM immobilized on silica catalyses the deacylation of 4-C-acyloxymethyl-3,5-di-O-acyl-1,2-O-(1-methylethylidene)-beta-L-threo-pentofuranose to form 3,5-di-O-acyl-4-C-hydroxymethyl-1,2-O-(1-methylethylidene)-alpha-d-xylo-pentofuranose in a highly selective and efficient manner.

Estolides are vegetable-oil-based lubricants obtained from oleic acid or any source of hydroxy fatty acids. In this work, the estolides synthesis from oleic acid and methyl ricinoleate (biodiesel from castor oil), using immobilized commercial lipases (Novozym 435, Lipozyme RM-IM, and Lipozyme TL-IM) in a solvent-free medium was investigated. Acid value was used to monitor the reaction progress ...

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), Glycerol (G) and sunflower oil blends with varying concentration were subjected to enzymatic esterification using a 1, 3- specific immobilized lipase. CLA was used as acyl due to its purported health benefits. The transesterified lipids were evaluated for free fatty acids (FFA) and composition of fatty acids by gas chromatography. Lipozyme RM IM is preferred for ...
