Synthesis of glycerides containing n-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid by solvent-free acidolysis of fish oil.

Menhaden oil, a rich source of n-3 fatty acids, was interesterified with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in a reaction medium composed solely of substrates and either free or immobilized commercial lipase preparations. Of five lipases tested, an immobilized preparation from Mucor miehei provided the fastest rate of incorporation of CLA into fish oil acylglycerols; however, and as observed with most of the lipases utilized, a significant proportion of the n-3 fatty acid residues were liberated in the process. A soluble lipase from Candida rugosa converted free CLA to acylglycerol residues while leaving the n-3 fatty acid residues virtually untouched. Even though the reaction rate was slower for this enzyme than for the other four lipase preparations, the specificity of the free C. rugosa lipase gives it the greatest potential for commercial use in preparing fish oils enriched in CLA residues but still retaining their original n-3 fatty acid residues.

Change in glyceride composition of olive pomace oil during enzymatic esterification.

Enzymatic esterification of free fatty acids of olive pomace oil with glycerol was investigated. The esterification reaction was carried out in the absence and presence of glycerol (glycerol to free fatty acids (FFA) molar ratio of 1/3 and 1/6). In the absence of glycerol, the FFA concentration decreased from 32 to 21% while the triglyceride concentration increased from 33 to 40% after of 8 h of reaction time. The most significant decrease in FFAs and increase in triglycerides was observed at the limiting concentration of glycerol (glycerol to FFA molar ratio of 1/3). The FFA concentration decreased to 2.5% and the triglyceride concentration increased up to 78%. The change in both FFA and triglyceride concentrations was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.05).
