Random interesterification of triglyceride fats.

摘要

Process for the preparation of a triglyceride mixture with an approximately random distribution of the fatty acid residues over the glyceride positions Sn1, Sn2 and Sn3, by subjecting in the presence of water a triglyceride fat to the activity of a 1,3-specific lipase. The process is a multi-step process which includes a first step wherein the triglycerides are subjected to enzymatic action in the presence of diglycerides amounting 4-30 wt.% on total fat content and a second step wherein the diglyceride concentration in the reaction mixture is reduced, e.g. by removal of water, optionally after addition of fatty acids.
