Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of 1,2 and 1,3-diacylglycerols catalyzed by enzymes from the hydrolysis of lipidic material. In the process under reference, Amano PS and Amano IM commercial lipases are used to catalyze the production of diacylglycerols by hydrolysis of lipidic material from palm oil. Different reaction conditions were employed, wherein variations in temperature, amount of enzyme and stirring speed were studied.
