Abstract

Unsaturated fatty acids (USAFA) especially monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) has been shown to provide substantial health benefits. This study attempted to increase the triunsaturated (U3 ) triacylglycerols (TAG) content in palm oil (PO) via lipase-catalysed directed interesterification (EDIE) to enable the production of a liquid fraction that is high in USAFA especially MUFA. A response surface methodology with three factors and five levels in a central composite design was employed for optimisation of the EDIE conditions for the U3 TAG production. The effects of reaction temperature (20C-50C) reaction time (12-28 hr) and enzyme load (2-18) on the U3 TAG and by-products yields were investigated. Well-fitted quadratic and linear models were successfully established for both responses. All processing conditions affected significantly (p0.05) U3 TAG yield. By-products yield was affected by reaction time and temperature. Although increasing reaction temperature and enzyme load and extending the reaction time resulted in a higher U3 TAG yield a higher amount of by-products were formed as well. The optimised processing conditions were a reaction temperature of 30C and reaction time of 18 hr when immobilised lipase enzyme load was set at 10 (w/w) and resulted in yields of about 27 of U3 TAG and 23 of by-products.
