METHOD FOR TRANSESTERIFYING FAT AND/OR OIL BY HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing fat and/or oil with a modifi ed fatty acid distribution in the glycerides by heterogeneously catalyzed transesterification. According to the inventive method, the fat and/or oil o f biological origin to be transesterified is/are reacted in the presence of a catalyst from a metal salt of an alkaline amino acid or an amino acid derivative. By using the catalyst, the drawbacks of conventional transesterification methods can be eliminated.
