IMPROVED PROCESSES FOR SYNTHESIS AND PURIFICATION OF NONDIGESTIBLE FATS USING LIPASE

摘要

A process for removing digestible fat from a crude reaction mixture comprisi ng nondigestible fat and at least one digestible fat selected from the group consisting of digestible fats having fatty acid chains, comprising the steps of: (1) treating the crude reaction mixture with an aqueous solution comprising lipase at a pH sufficient to obtain soaps from the fatty acid chains; and (2) removing the soaps.
