Enzymic alcoholysis of blackcurrant oil

Alcoholysis of blackcurrant oil mediated by Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase performed at 30 degree C in ethanol (96%, v/v) used both as a solvent and as a reactant. After 16 h, 95% of triacylglycerols present in the oil was converted into a mixture consisting of fatty acid ethyl esters, free fatty ac...

Description
Summary:Alcoholysis of blackcurrant oil mediated by Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase performed at 30 degree C in ethanol (96%, v/v) used both as a solvent and as a reactant. After 16 h, 95% of triacylglycerols present in the oil was converted into a mixture consisting of fatty acid ethyl esters, free fatty acids, monoacylglycerols and diacylglycerols. The highest amount of fatty acid ethyl esters (52%) was achieved after 8 h.
