Enzymatic Production of Monoacylglycerols (MAG) and Diacylglycerols (DAG) from Fish Oil in a Solvent‐Free System

Abstract: Mono- (MAG) and diacylglycerols (DAG) are of nutritional interest. MAG and DAG containing eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids were produced in a solvent-free system via glycerolysis of menhaden oil catalyzed by Novozym 435. The effect of the molar ratio of glycerol to oil, enzyme concentration, and reaction temperature on MAG and DAG production was assessed. The optimal temperature was in the range of 55-70 degrees C for production of both acylglycerols. The increase in the substrates molar … Show more

“…When the substrate ratio was increased from 1:1 to 1:3 mol/mol, the DAG content did not change appreciably after 12 hours of reaction, and the final DAG content decreased as the substrate ratio increased, likely due to increased alcoholysis of DAG by glycerol to form MAG. The results are in agreement with the study from Feltes et al (), who formed a product with 41% of DAG content through Novozym® 435‐catalyzed glycerolysis of fish oil at an oil/glycerol molar ratio of 1:1. However, in the cited paper, the content of MAG was 25%, which was higher than that of this experiment, likely due to the higher reaction temperature (70 °C) and longer reaction time (24 hours) used in the cited study.…”

“…The production of partial glycerides esterified with fatty acids of bioactive interest is also now possible (Devi et al, 2008;Feltes et al, 2012;Vadivel, Whitten, & Makriyannis, 2011;Wang et al, 2013).…”
