Abstract

The phospholipase $A_2$-catalyzed transesterification of phosphatidylcholine (PC, 95%) with nervonic acid (NA, 95%) was successfully carried out in an organic solvent. The maximum yield after 48 h was 10.3% (w/w) at $50^{\circ}C$ with an initial water activity ($a_w$) of 0.16, and a molar ratio of NA to PC of 20 in 5 ml ethyl acetate.
