Abstract
Phospholipase A(2)-catalysed transesterification of phosphatidylcholine (PC , 99%) with eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (EPAEE, 95%) was carried out in organic solvent. The maximum yield was 14.3% (w/w). The optimum reaction condition was 50 degrees C, 48 h, initial water activity 0.25 and molar ra tio of PC to EPAEE 1:10 in 5 ml toluene.
