166 9 Lipase-Catalyzed Synthesis of Structured Triacylglycerols
Figure 6. Time course of the reaction shown in Equation (12) with 1,3–specific lipase (Rosu et al.,
1999). The molar ratio of tri-EPA/C 8 EE was 1/100. The reaction was performed with 2 % initial water
content at normal pressure for 10 h, followed by 3 h at 3 mmHg. TAG content [,C 8 (EPA)C 8 ;&,
(EPA)(EPA)(EPA);&,C 8 (EPA)(EPA) and/or (EPA)(EPA)C 8 ; and,C 8 C 8 C 8 ]. DAG content [~,
C 8 C 8 OH;~,C 8 (EPA)OH; and, (EPA)(EPA)OH]. Note that no MAGs were detected.
