Abstract
Structured phospholipids were prepared by the lipase-catalyzed transacylation of soy-phospholipids with monoacylglycerol (MG) of different fatty acids under the non-aqueous system.
The various phsopholipids comprised saturated fatty acids with carbon number of 4-18, and oleic, linoleic, linolenic, icosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids could be obtained with high yields by transacylation used with MG of corresponding fatty acids.
The repeating reaction process is available to raise the transacylation ratio, since the non-aqueous transacylation is not accompanied by the hydrolysis as a side reaction catalyzed by lipase.
