摘要

This study focused on the preparation of docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA)enriched-triacylglycerols by enzymatic interesterification using tuna oil and capric acid. The content of DHA+EPA is 26.86% in the tuna oil used in this study. A response surface methodology(RSM) was used to optimize the reaction parameters(reaction temperature, substrate molar ratio, enzyme amount and reaction time), and the optimized conditions were determined to be: reaction temperature 58℃, substrate molar ratio(capric acid : tuna oil) 4:1, enzyme amount 4%, and reaction time 7.5 h. Under the optimized conditions, the content of DHA+EPA in the glycerides was 40.03%, which is 13.17% higher than that in raw tuna oil. In addition,the MLM-type structured lipids containing medium chain fatty acids(capric acid) at positions sn-1,3 and a long chain fatty acid(DHA/EPA) at the position sn-2 may have many health benefits for humans.
