Conjugated fatty acid containing monoglycerides and process for producing them

摘要

The invention provided a process for deacidification and purification of a glyceride product containing a monoglyceride, characterized in that alkali is added to the glyceride product comprising or comprising as a major ingredient the monoglyceride in which a free fatty acid is concomitantly present, whereby the free fatty acid present in the product is neutralized to give a saponification product, and a material having a molecular weight larger than the monoglyceride and a compatibility with the saponification product is added for decreasing the concentration of the saponification product, which is then subjected to the molecular distillation to remove the saponification product as a distillation residue.
