Abstract :
While branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA)-enriched triacylglycerols (TAG) has various health benefits, its preparation has not been reported. This study aimed to synthesize high-purity BCFA-enriched structured TAG. First, BCFA was enriched from lanolin through saponification, calcification, and urea complexation. Next, BCFA-enriched TAG was synthesized by enzymatic esterification of BCFA and glycerol. Then, lipases were screened by molecular docking and practical experiments, which suggested that Lipozyme 435 was the best lipase for esterification since it had the lowest binding energy. Structured TAG containing 92.23% BCFA was synthesized under conditions optimized by single-factor experiments. Furthermore, molecular distillation was adapted to remove excess fatty acids and small molecule impurities. Finally, high-purity BCFA-enriched structured lipid containing 70.26% TAG was obtained. Overall, this study successfully developed a method for synthesizing BCFA-enriched structured TAG, which holds great promise for applications in value-added foods. |
