“…The yield of LPC increased from 38.3 to 70.1 mol% when the molar ratio was increased from 1:6.25 to 1:50. Several studies have shown that a high excess of fatty acid over GPC is necessary to achieve sufficient conversion, and products of high purity (Adlercreutz, Lyberg, & Adlercreutz, 2003;Ichihara et al, 2005). However, if the concentration of the acyl donor is increased too much, a loss of lipase activity can occur by the inhibition of acidic substrate, which acidifies the microaqueous phase surrounding the lipase or causes desorption of water from the interface (Lee & Akoh, 1998;Yankah & Akoh, 2000).…”
