Synthesis conditions were optimized using response surface methodology for producing structured lipids (SL) by interesterification of DHA-enriched algae oil derived from microalgae, Schizochytrium sp. and corn oil. Reaction was performed fer 24 hr at $55^{\circ}C$ catalyzed by immobilized lipase from Rhizomucor miehei (RM IM) in shaking water bath. Major fatty acids of SL were palmitic (21.70 mol%), oleic (20.20 mol%), and linoleic (27.34 mol%) acids, and DHA (15.06 mol%). To separate newly synthesized SL-triglycerides (TG) species, HPLC with evaporative light scatting detector (ELSD) was used. Production conditions were optimized using central composite design with reaction temperature $(35-75^{\circ}C,\;X_1)$, reaction time $(2-42\;hr,\;X_2)$, and enzyme concentration $(2-14%,\;X_3)$ as variables. When variables were $70.28^{\circ}C\;(X_1),\;28.74\;hr\;(X_2),\;and\;11.30%\;(X_3)$, maximum content of selected three peaks of synthesized SL-TG species was predicted as 6.97 area%.

Structured lipid (SL) was synthesized by enzymatic interesterification of algae oil and corn oil in stirred tank batch reactor, The reaction, performed for 15hr at $65^{\circ}C$, was catalyzed by sn-1,3-specific lipase RM IM from Rhizonucor miehei without organic solvent. DHA, oleic acid, and linoleic acid contents of SL were 14.9, 17.3, and 31.8 mol%, respectively. ${\alpha}-,\;{\gamma}-,\;and\;{\delta}-tocopherol$ contents and physiochemical property of SL were evaluated. During 15 hr reaction, most reaction occurred within 6 hr, and highest relative production rate was observed between 3 to 6 hr.

In the absence of organic solvent, di- and mono-acylglycerol enriched functional oil was produced by lipase-catalyzed glycerolysis in a stirred tank batch reactor. After glycerolysis for 48 hr, functional oil consisted of $47.1\%\;TAG,\;33.6\%\;DAG,\;and\;18.7\%$ MAG. In MAG and DAG, docosahexaenoic acid was found as $10.7\%\;and\;8.1\%$, respectively. During the reaction, total tocopherol content decreased, and $0.065\%$ tocopherols were existed in the functional oil produced after 48hr reaction.

Structured triacylglycerol (SL-TAG) was synthesized by enzymatic interesterification with algae oil and soybean oil in solvent-free system. Structured di- and monoacylglycerol (SL-DAG/MAG) were produced by glycerolysis with SL-TAG and glycerol catalyzed by lipase. Reactions were performed by sn-1.3 specific Lipozyme RM IM lipase from Rhizomucor miehei (interesterification, 11%; glycerolysis 5% by weight of total substrates) in solvent-free system using stirred-batch type reactor. SL-DAG/MAG contained TAG (42,3 area%), 1,3-DAG (19.2 area%), 1,2-DAG (22.2 area%), MAG (16.0 area%), and free fatty acid (0.2 area%). Iodine and saponification values of SL-DAG/MAG were 208.8 and 179.6, respectively. SL-DAG/MAG appeared yellowish in color.
