Sn-2 DHA-enriched triacylglycerols (TAG) were prepared by both lipase-catalyzed esterification and solvent fractionation. The specific-structured triacylglycerol (SST) was synthesized at a molar ratio of algae oil to mixed oleic acid and linoleic acid (3:2, w/w) of 1:5 with 8 % of Lipozyme TL IM at 60 °C for 8 h. In the SSTs, the DHA content reached 46 % with sn-2 DHA/total DHA of 50 %. The optimal fractionation conditions were algae oil to solvent (v/v) of 1:6 in acetone (-20 °C) for 6 h. DHA in the final fraction was 37 % and sn-2 DHA/total DHA was 60 %. LC-MS analysis confirmed the TAG profiles, showing that SSTs predominantly contained U-DHA-U type TAGs (U, unsaturated fatty acid), whereas the fractionated solids were enriched in S-DHA-S type TAGs (S, saturated fatty acid). The melting points of the final products were below the physiological temperature (36.6-37.3 °C), enabling efficient absorption and utilization by the human body.
富含Sn-2 DHA的三酰甘油(TAG)通过脂肪酶催化酯化和溶剂分级分离两种方法制备。在60℃下,以1:5的藻油与混合油酸和亚油酸(3:2,w/w)的摩尔比,加入8%的Lipozyme TL IM合成特定结构的三酰甘油(SST),反应8小时。在SST中,DHA含量达到46%,Sn-2 DHA/总DHA为50%。最佳分级分离条件为在丙酮(-20℃)中藻油与溶剂的比例为1:6(v/v),分离6小时。最终馏分中的DHA为37%,Sn-2 DHA/总DHA为60%。LC-MS分析证实了TAG谱图,表明SST主要含有U-DHA-U型TAG(U,不饱和脂肪酸),而分级分离得到的固体富含S-DHA-S型TAG(S,饱和脂肪酸)。最终产品的熔点低于生理温度(36.6-37.3℃),有利于人体的有效吸收和利用。
