Abstract

For the production of diglyceride (DG) containing medium chain fatty acid, which could be utilized as a substrate to structured lipid production, monoglyceride (MG) and caprylic acid were reacted in the presence of lipase. The reaction system was well mixed homogeneously without using any organic solvent. Among the lipases investigated, Lipozyme RM IM and Novozym 435 were selected on the basis of equilibrium DG yields from the medium chain fatty acid and MG. And reaction conditions such as addition of molecular sieve, water content of immobilized lipase, reaction temperature, and mole ratio of MG/caprylic acid are optimized to increase DG production by using Lipozyme RM IM. DG content of reaction mixture showed 8% increase by adding molecular sieve to reaction mixture. Removal of water from the immobilized lipase could affect seriously equilibrium content of DG. More than 2.8%(w/w) removal of water from the support could make 44% of DG. Optimum temperature was found to $60^{\circ}C$. Temperature shift from $60^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$ resulted in increase of free fatty acid (FFA) content. The equilibrium DG yield was not seriously affected by on MG/caprylic acid molar ratio. However, at the stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 the highest DG yield was obtained. Increasing MG/caprylic acid ratio from 0.3 to 1.8 decreased FFA content from 34% to 13%, while MG content increased from 27% to 50%.

재구성 지방질의 기질로서 사용될 수 있는 중쇄지방산을 함유한 디글리세리드(DG)를 생산하기 위하여 리파제를 사용하여 중쇄지방산과 모노글리세리드(MG)로부터 DG를 생산하는 유기용매를 사용하지 않는 반응 시스템을 고안하였다. 조사된 리파제 중에 Lipozyme RM IM과 Novozym 435만이 중쇄지방산(carpylic acid, caproic acid, capric acid)과 MG로부터 DG를 효과적으로 생산하였다. 고정화 효소인 Lipozyme RM IM을 사용하여 중쇄지방산인 카프릴산과 MG를 반응시킴으로써 DG 생산을 위하여 molecular sieve 첨가에 의한 반응혼합액 중의 수분 제거, 고정화 효소의 수분함량, 반응온도, MG/카프릴산의 몰비율 등의 생산 조건을 최적화하였다. Molecular sieve를 첨가 하였을 때 약 8%의 DG 함량이 증가되었으며 고정화효소(초기 수분함량: 3.8%(w/w))의 수분을 2.8%(w/w) 이상 감소시킴으로써 44%의 DG를 생산할 수 있었다. 최적의 반응 온도는 $60^{\circ}C$로 확인되었으며 $60^{\circ}C$에서 $25^{\circ}C$로의 온도 변화는 FFA의 함량이 증가하여 DG 생산에 적합하지 아니하였다. 조사된 모든 몰비율에서 반응 24시간 후의 DG의 생산량은 40% 전후로 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았으나 화학양론적인 몰비율 1:1(MG/caprylic acid)에서 가장 많은 DG가 생산되었다. 또한 MG와 카프릴산의 몰비율이 0.3에서 1.8로 높아질수록 반응물 중의 FFA의 함량이 34%에서 13%로 감소하였고 MG 함량은 37%에서 50%로 증가하였다.
