TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of enzymatic preparation of oil and fat, in particular to a method for enzymatically preparing special oil and fat for infant formula milk powder. BACKGROUND
[0002] Enzymatic preparation of special oil and fat for infant formula milk powder is a green manufacturing technology that utilizes the biological catalytic action of lipase to rearrange natural oil and fat molecules under mild conditions, thereby constructing special oil and fat that highly simulates breast milk fat in composition and structure. Unlike traditional chemical methods, which cannot control the position of fatty acids on the triglyceride molecule and can only obtain a mixture of various structural lipids, enzymatic preparation of special oil and fat enables precise synthesis, thus having a very broad application prospect and being a key driving force for upgrading the infant formula milk powder industry and even the entire special food industry.
[0003] According to the search, the invention patent with the Chinese patent publication number CN114181982B discloses a method for enzymatically preparing special oil and fat for infant formula milk powder. The method in the invention patent enzymatically processes natural oil and fat rich in sn-2 palmitic acid to prepare sn-2 palmitic acid monoglyceride, and then directly synthesizes UPU with the prepared sn-2 palmitic acid monoglyceride and an oleic acid-based / linoleic acid-based acyl donor. The sn-2 palmitic acid monoglyceride is purified by solvent crystallization, and the water activity is controlled to reduce the transfer of sn-2 palmitic acid acyl groups, thereby ensuring the obtaining of high-content sn-2 palmitic acid monoglyceride, which is beneficial to improving the yield of UPU. However, the enzymatic preparation method uses free sn-1,3 specific lipase to catalyze the reaction, and only centrifugal filtration is performed after the reaction, which cannot realize recycling and reuse. In addition, the obtained oil and fat product has a single function and lacks essential micronutrients, and the product is purified by solvent crystallization, resulting in low purity. Based on the existing technical deficiencies, a method for enzymatically preparing special oil and fat for infant formula milk powder is proposed. SUMMARY

[0017] Embodiment one In the present embodiment, before the alcoholysis reaction of the step S1 magnetically immobilized lipase, the palm stearin raw material oil needs to be sequentially treated by degumming, bleaching, deacidification and deodorization.

After drying, the powder is collected from the bottom of the drying tower and the outlet of the fluidized bed, sieved by a vibrating screen, and then subjected to microencapsulation treatment by nitrogen sealing.
[0021] Example Three In this embodiment, a low-temperature soft tower deodorization process is used to achieve mild deodorization of the product, including: 1) The deacidified oil enters the deodorization tower, a small amount of steam is directly introduced at 210-230°C, the vacuum degree is controlled at 0.1-0.5 kPa, the structured packing provides a large specific surface area to ensure maximum stripping efficiency, and low-temperature short-time operation is realized; 2) After stripping for 20-40 min, the remaining free fatty acids and volatile odor molecules are removed, and the heat-sensitive ARA and vitamin substances are maximally retained; 3) A three-stage steam jet vacuum system is deployed in the middle of the deodorization tower, and the absolute pressure is maintained at less than 3 mbar.
