METHOD FOR PRODUCING TRANSESTERIFIED OIL

摘要

Provided is a method for producing transesterified oil, the method comprising mixing lipase and a fatty acid alkyl ester, which is an ester of a C16-22 fatty acid and a C1-3 alcohol, effecting contact at 20°C to 80°C for 10 minutes or longer while maintaining a mixed state, and subsequently mixing a plant oil or the remaining fatty acid alkyl ester and a plant oil into the mixture and carrying out a transesterification reaction. According to this method for producing a transesterified oil, a transesterification reaction can be carried out with lipase in the highest possible state of activity, and the lipase can be used in an efficient manner.
