Abstract
Lipase mediated interesterification of acylglycerols from corn oil with con jugated linoleic acid (CLA) was studied in several organic solvents. Two co mmercially available lipases, IM-60 from Mucor miehei and Chirazyme L-2 fro m Candida antarctica brought about greatest extents of interesterification. Hexane was the best solvent from the standpoint of both maximizing the rea ction rate and the extent of interesterification.
