Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing phytosterol esters and / or phytostanol esters by using lipid acyltransferase (lipid acyltransferase). The present invention further relates to the use of lipid acyltransferases for the production of plant sterol esters and / or plant stanol esters. Background technique
[0002] It is known that plant sterol esters are introduced into foods such as mayonnaise and margarine mainly due to their cholesterol-lowering effect. Foods rich in plant sterol esters or plant stanol esters are often called "functional foods" (ie, rich in margarine). The personal care (cosmetics) industry has also used plant stanol esters and plant sterol esters. It is more preferred to use sterol esters and / or stanol esters rather than free sterols or stanols in food and other applications because the sterol esters and / or stanol esters are more stable.
[0003] Traditionally, sterol esters and / or stanol esters are produced by chemical...
