Enzymatic interesterification of lard and high‐oleic sunflower oil with Candida antarctica lipase to produce plastic fats

Abstract Lard and high‐oleic sunflower oil (Trisun® Extra) were interesterified at 55°C for 24 h with SP435 lipase from Candida antarctica to produce plastic fats. As the amount of trisun increased, percentage free fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid value, oxidizability, and the...

Description
Summary:Abstract Lard and high‐oleic sunflower oil (Trisun® Extra) were interesterified at 55°C for 24 h with SP435 lipase from Candida antarctica to produce plastic fats. As the amount of trisun increased, percentage free fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid value, oxidizability, and the amount of 18:1 found at the sn ‐2 position of triglyceride products increased. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that the low‐melting components in the product contained more 18:1 than the high‐melting components. A 60:40 (w/w) ratio of lard to trisun had the widest plastic range (3–26°C). The scaled‐up reaction to produce this blend resulted in a product that had 60.1% 18:1 at the sn ‐2 position compared to 44.9% for the physical blend. The solid fat content of the 60:40 interesterified mixture resembled soft‐type margarine oil.
