OPTICALLY ACTIVE DIACYLGLYCEROL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for synthesizing a diacylglycerol by using a castor oil as a raw material and subjecting the caster oil to optical resolution by a lipase derived from bacteria; and to provide the diacylglycerol comprising a determined optical isomer. SOLUTION: The optically active 1,2(2,3)-diacyl-sn-glycerol is obtained by asymmetrically hydrolyzing a high-purity glyceryl triricinoleate obtained by purifying the caster oil in an organic solvent by the lipase derived from the bacteria such as lipase PS.
