PCT No. PCT/EP96/02587 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 29, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 29, 1997 PCT Filed Jun. 14, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/01632 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 16, 1997An amphiphilic enzyme is immobilized by preparing an emulsion containing a continuous hydrophobic phase and a dispersed aqueous phase containing the enzyme and a carrier for the enzyme, and removing water from the dispersed phase until this phase turns into solid enzyme coated particles. The enzyme is preferably a lipase, and the immobilized lipase can be used for reactions catalyzed by lipase such as interesterification of mono-, di- or triglycerides, de-acidification of a triglyceride oil, or removal of phospholipids from a triglyceride oil when the lipase is a phospholipase. The aqueous phase may contain a fermentation liquid, an edible triglyceride oil may be the hydrophobic phase, and carriers include sugars, starch, dextran, water soluble cellulose derivatives and fermentation residues. A substance to be processed such as triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides, glycerol, phospholipids or fatty acids may be in the hydrophobic phase.
