Pure concentrates of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids were used to produce monoacylglycerol and diacylglycerol (MDG) oils via enzymatic glycerolysis in a solvent-free system. Immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica B (Novozym 435) was employed for the glycerolysis reaction w...
