Benefits of technology

[0008] According to the present invention, there is provided a process for the production of a high-purity diacylglycerol at a high yield in a short period of time, said process comprising:
[0012] According to the present invention, a high-purity diacylglycerol can be produced at a high-yield in a short period of time.

Problems solved by technology

The drawback of this process is that it is not able to investigate production conditions at an industrial level.
This process involves technical difficulties such as necessity of stopping the reaction at the time the concentration of the diglyceride reaches a peak.
This technique is easy to operate and can improve the reaction rate to some extent, but is insufficient in the purity of the resulting diglyceride and the industrial scale-up technique.
However, this process is costly as it requires the use of expensive purified fatty acids as raw material.

example 1

[0036] In a 5 L flask, 1000 g of refined palm olein was mixed with 1000 g of distilled water and 100 g of “Lipozyme RM IM”, an immobilised 1,3-position selective lipase obtained from Rhizomucor miehei lipase. The mixture was reacted for 10 hours under stirring at 60° C. Thereafter, the lipase preparation was removed from the reaction product. Samples of the product were removed, and the amount of free fatty acids and partial acylglycerols was determined by gas chromatography. The results are shown in Table 1.

example 2

[0037] In a 5 L flask, 1000 g of refined soybean oil was mixed with 1000 g of distilled water and 100 g of “Lipozyme RM IM”, an immobilised 1,3-position selective lipase obtained from Rhizomucor miehei lipase. The mixture was reacted for 10 hours under stirring at 60° C. Thereafter, the lipase preparation was removed from the reaction product. Samples of the product were removed, and the amount of free fatty acids and partial acylglycerols was determined by gas chromatography. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0038] The hydrolysis products from Examples 1 and 2 were centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes to separate the oil phase from the aqueous phase. The oil phase was subjected to molecular distillation at a temperature of 160° C. and at a pressure of 0.001 mbar to obtain the free fatty acids and monoacylglycerols as distillate 1 and diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol as residue 1. A further molecular distillation step at 210° C. and 0.001 mbar was performed to obtain the diacylglycerol as distillate 2 and triacylglycerol as residue 2. The results are shown in Table 2.

Abstract

The present invention provides a process for producing a diacylglycerol, which comprises, reacting triacylglycerol with water and an enzyme to obtain a mixture comprising of diacylglycerol, monoacylglycerol and free fatty acid; removing water content in the mixture by way of dehydration; and separating monoacylglycerol, free fatty acid and residual triacylglycerol by at least one separation method to obtain a high-purity diacylglycerol. An oil or fat composition comprising of diacylglycerol obtained from the said process and phytosteryl esters and / or ferulic acid esters in an amount of from 0.5% to 25% by weight of diacylglycerol is also provided.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the production of diacylglycerols. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for producing a high-purity diacylglycerol at a high yield in a short period of time. BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION [0002] Diacylglycerols are widely used in a variety of applications such as additives for improving plasticity of oils and fats, as well as edible oils in the food industry, and as a base material for the production of cosmetics and drugs. Generally, the preparation of such diacylglycerols involves an esterification reaction of glycerol with its corresponding fatty acid, an alcohol interchange reaction of glycerol with oil or fat, or the like, with the use of an alkali catalyst, or an enzyme such as a lipase, or the like. However, the use of an enzyme catalyst is preferable from the viewpoints of the yield and purity of the diacylglycerols synthesised and energy savings.
