Ss. Roy et Dk. Bhattacharyya, DISTINCTION BETWEEN ENZYMATICALLY AND CHEMICALLY CATALYZED INTERESTERIFICATION, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 70(12), 1993, pp. 1293-1294
The 1,3-specific lipase-catalyzed interesterified fats were distinguis
hed from chemically catalyzed products by the fatty acids in the 2-pos
ition. The fatty acid contents in the 2-position of the 1,3-lipase-cat
alyzed and the original triglycerides were similar but different from
that of chemically interesterified fat. Also, the saturated-to-unsatur
ated fatty acid ratio in the 2-monoglycerides was lower for the 1,3-sp
ecific lipase catalyzed interesterified fats than for the correspondin
g chemical products.
