PURPOSE: Provided is a method for selectively producing monoglyceride widely used as a surfactant for food additives by using an enzyme, therefore the monoglyceride can be selectively produced without the generation of diglyceride as impurities. CONSTITUTION: The method for selectively producing monoglyceride using enzymes is characterized by ester exchange reaction between glycerin and an ester compound of fatty acid in an organic solvent in the presence of an enzyme, particularly lipase, wherein the ester compound of fatty acid is methylester of fatty acid and ethylester of fatty acid; the organic solvent is 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran and acetone; the glycerin and ester compound of fatty acid are reacted in the ratio of 1:1 to 1:9; and the ester exchange reaction is carried out at 15 to 60 deg. C for 10 to 48 hours.
