Abstract
The present research deals with the synthesis of structured triacylglycerols (TAG) by enzymatic treatment of sn-1,3-diacylglycerol (sn-1,3-DAG) with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers using the immobilized lipase from Rhizomucor miehei (Lipozyme® IM) under different experimental conditions. In particular, the influence of reaction parameters, such as temperature, enzymatic load, reaction time and DAG/CLA ratio has been evaluated using an experimental design software with a screening objective. Two responses have been selected, they are the percentage of CLA ...
