Abstract
AbstractThe FA composition in the sn‐2 position of TAG is routinely determined after porcine pancreatic lipase hydrolysis. However, the content of saturated FA increased when a pancreatic lipase preparation with higher specific activity was used. Lipase from Rhizopus delemar was selected as a potential replacement lipase for the following reasons: (i) The FA specificity is nearly equivalent in hydrolysis activity toward FA such as lauric, myristic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and α‐linolenic acids; and (ii) lipase from R. delemar hydrolyzes fatty acyl residues at the sn‐1,3 positions of TAG. Acyl migration products were present at less than 0.8% in lipase hydrolysates containing 6–14% of sn‐2 MAG. A reproducibility CV of less than 5% was obtained in a collaborative study in which the compositions of the main FA at the sn‐2 position in olive oil were determined using lipase from R. delemar.
