Structured TAGs with palmitic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) at the sn-2 position have various health benefits for infants. In this study, we first compared two enzymatic routes for preparation of the structured TAGs. Results showed that the one-pot and two-step syntheses led to 37.6% and 55.4% oleic acid incorporation, respectively, after 10 h and reaction route had little effect on the sn-2 fatty acid composition. Subsequently, reaction variables of the two-step synthesis were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, 53.5% oleic acid was incorporated into the structured TAGs after 6-h acidolysis. Major fatty acids at the sn-2 position were palmitic acid (68.7%), ARA (9.8%) and oleic acid (7.9%). This is the first study reporting a two-step enzymatic method for structured TAGs preparation. Compared to the one-pot synthesis, current method significantly improves the efficiency of the acidolysis by product inhibition elimination. The synthetic TAGs have potential use in infant formulas.
具有棕榈酸和多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)的结构化 TAG 在 sn-2 位置具有各种有益于婴儿的健康益处。在这项研究中,我们首先比较了两种酶法合成结构化 TAG 的途径。结果表明,一锅法和两步法合成分别在 10 小时后导致 37.6%和 55.4%的油酸掺入,反应途径对 sn-2 脂肪酸组成的影响很小。随后,优化了两步法合成的反应变量。在最佳条件下,6 小时酸解后,53.5%的油酸被掺入结构化 TAG 中。sn-2 位的主要脂肪酸为棕榈酸(68.7%)、ARA(9.8%)和油酸(7.9%)。这是首次报道两步酶法合成结构化 TAG 的研究。与一锅法合成相比,目前的方法通过消除产物抑制显著提高了酸解效率。合成的 TAG 有可能用于婴儿配方奶粉。
