Assessment of process parameters on the production of diglycerides rich in omega-3 fatty acids through the enzymatic glycerolysis of fish oil

The main objective of this work is to present new experimental information concerning the effect of relevant process parameters related to the production of diglycerides by enzymatic glycerolysis of fish oil. Reaction products can be applied as ingredients in food industry, joining the emulsifying properties of partial glycerides along with the nutritional benefits attributed to the omega-3 fatty acids. From preliminary reactions, conversion was...
