T. Gitlesen et al., HIGH-OLEIC-ACID RAPESEED OIL AS STARTING MATERIAL FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CONFECTIONARY FATS VIA LIPASE-CATALYZED TRANSESTERIFICATION, Industrial crops and products, 4(3), 1995, pp. 167-171
Lipase-catalyzed transesterification of high-oleic-acid rapeseed oil w
ith stearic acid or methyl stearate was investigated. High yields of 1
,3-distearoyl-2-monooleyl glycerol (36%) and 1(3)-2-dioleyl-1(3)-monos
tearoyl glycerol (27%) with small incorporation of stearic acid in the
2-position were obtained by using lipase from Rhizopus arrhizus immob
ilized on polypropylene powder and ethyl stearate as acyl donor.
