Enzymatic synthesis of structured lipids using a novel cold-active lipase from Pichia lynferdii NRRL Y-7723

Structured lipids (SL) were synthesized by the acidolysis of borage oil with caprylic acid using lipases. Six commercial lipases from different sources and a novel lipase from Pichia lynferdii NRRL Y-7723 were screened for their acidolysis activities and Lipozyme RM IM and NRRL Y-7723 lipase were selected to synthesize symmetrical SL since recently NRRL Y-7723 lipase was identified as a novel cold-active lipase. Both lipases showed 1,3-regiospecifity toward the glycerol backbone of borage oil. The effects of enzyme loading and temperature on caprylic acid incorporation into the borage oil were investigated. For Lipozyme RM IM and NRRL Y-7723 lipase, the incorporation of caprylic acid increased as enzyme loading increased up to 4% of total weight of the substrate, but significant increases were not observed when enzyme loading was further increased. The activity of NRRL Y-7723 lipase was higher than that of Lipozyme RM IM in the temperature range between 10 and 20 °C.     

LIPASE-CATALYZED PRODUCTION OF STRUCTURED LIPIDS VIA ACIDOLYSIS OF FISH OIL WITH CAPRYLIC ACID

Structured lipids containing eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids were manufactured in a batch reactor by lipase-catalyzed acidolysis of fish oil with caprylic acid. The following free lipases (Lipase AP, Aspergillus niger ; Lipase P, Pseudomonus sp. ; Lipase AY, Candida rugosa ; Lipase AK, Pseudomonas fluoresescens ; Lipase F, Rhizopus oryzae ; Lipase D, Rhizopus delemar ) were screened under selected reaction conditions. The conditions were enzyme load 5%, substrate mole ratio 1:6 (fish oil: caprylic acid), and reaction temperature of 50C. Lipase AK had the highest activity and was suitable for production of structured lipids from fish oil. The optimal mole substrate ratio of fish oil to caprylic acid for Lipase AK was 1:6 to 1:8. The time course of the reaction at different enzyme loads demonstrated that 40% incorporation of caprylic acid could be obtained for Lipase AK in 5 h with 10% enzyme load. Addition of water had little effect on the activity of the lipase. Lipase AK and Lipozyme IM were further compared under the same conditions, in which Lipase AK had a slightly higher incorporation of caprylic acid, similar acyl migration of caprylic acid from sn-1,3 positions to the sn-2 position, and a slightly lower selectivity towards docosahexaenoic acid.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of structured triacylglycerols with conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) in central position

A chemoenzymatic process for the production of structured triacylglycerols (TAG) containing CLA at sn2 position and lauric acid at external ones is proposed. First, castor bean oil was chemically dehydrated and isomerised to obtain a new modified oil with very high proportion of CLA (>95%). Then, this new oil was used for enzymatic transesterification allowing the grafting of lauric acid at external positions of the TAG backbone by using 1,3 regioselective enzymes. Among these, Aspergillus niger lipase was not satisfactory giving very low lauroyl incorporation (<5%) On the contrary, lipases from Thermomyces lanuginosa (Lipozyme TL IM) and from Carica papaya latex allowed good reaction yields. The effect of the type of acyl donor was studied. With alkyl esters T. lanuginosa lipase provided a final incorporation of 58.9% after 72 h corresponding to 88.4% transesterification yield. Concerning C. papaya lipase, incorporation of lauroyl residues was lower than Lipozyme TL IM. This lipase exhibited higher performance with lauric acid accounting for 44.7% lauroyl incorporation at the end of reaction for a 67.1% transesterification yield. The effect of the substrates mole ratio was also evaluated. It was observed that a 1:3 TAG/acyl donor mole ratio was the most efficient for both lipases. Finally, fatty acids regiodistribution of the newly formed structured TAG was determined. With Lipozyme TL IM, the proportion of lauric acid incorporated at the sn2 position did not exceed 5.4% after 72 h while with C. papaya lipase a more pronounced incorporation of lauroyl residues at the central position (8.8%) was observed.     

Transesterification of conjugated linoleic acid and tricaprylin by lipases in organic solvents

Lipase-catalyzed transesterification of tricaprylin with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) ethyl ester was performed to produce triacylglycerols containing conjugated linoleic acid. Six commercially available lipases, and seven solvents were screened for their ability to incorporate CLA into tricaprylin. The transesterification reaction was performed by incubating a 1:2 mole ratio of tricaprylin and CLA ethyl ester in 3 ml solvents at 55°C, and the products were analyzed by gas chromatography. Three lipases, Novozym 435, Lipozym IM and lipase PS-C were chosen to allow a comparison of transesterification activity in our model reaction. The highest CLA incorporation with Novozym 435 and Lipozym IM was achieved in hexane while isooctane produced the highest CLA incorporation with lipase PS-C. Lipase PS-C gave higher CLA incorporation into tricaprylin when fatty acid was used as the acyl donor than other lipases did. Lipozym IM and lipase PS-C had not restrict specificity to sn-1, 3 positions, even though they had high specificity at sn-1, 3 positions. Novozym 435 among lipases tested was the most effective on the incorporation of CLA into tricaprylin.     

Lipase-catalysed production of triacylglycerols enriched in pinolenic acid at the sn-2 position from pine nut oil

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to produce triacylglycerols (TAGs) enriched in pinolenic acid (PLA) at the sn‐2 position using the principle of acyl migration, from the pine nut oil containing PLA esterified exclusively at the sn‐3 position. RESULTS: Two types of lipase‐catalysed reactions, i.e. redistribution and reesterification of fatty acids, were successively performed using seven commercially available lipases as biocatalysts. Of the lipases tested, Novozym 435 and Lipozyme TL IM were effective biocatalysts for positioning PLA at the sn‐2 location. These biocatalysts were selected for further evaluation of the effects of reaction parameters, such as temperature and water content on the migration of PLA residues to the sn‐2 position and TAG content. For both lipases, a significant decrease in TAG content was observed after the lipase‐catalysed redistribution of fatty acids for both lipases. The reduced TAG content could be enhanced up to approx. 92%, through lipase‐catalysed re‐esterification of the hydrolysed fatty acids under vacuum. CONCLUSION: TAG enriched in PLA at the sn‐2 position was synthesised from pine nut oil via lipase‐catalysed redistribution and re‐esterification of fatty acid residues using Lipozyme TL IM and Novozym 435 as biocatalysts.

The effect of transglutaminase from Streptomyces sp. CBMAI 837 on the gelation of acidified sodium caseinate

The influence of the transglutaminase (TG) from a newly isolated Brazilian Streptomyces sp. CBMAI 837 and sodium caseinate concentration (4% and 8%, w/w) on acid-gel properties was studied. Standard gels with and without commercial transglutaminase samples were tested in parallel. The mechanical properties of the samples (stress and strain at rupture and elasticity modulus) were evaluated using uniaxial compression measurements. Texture parameters showed that the commercial TG gels had greater values of elasticity modulus, while addition of the Streptomyces sp. CBMAI 837 TG to the gel led to the formation of less elastic, but more deformable gels. The electrophoresis results showed that the commercial TG enzyme in this system promoted higher molecular mass protein polymers than the enzyme from Streptomyces sp. CBMAI 837. Microscopy and water-holding capacity (WHC) observations showed that all the gel characteristics could be associated with specific interactions promoted by each TG tested.     

Production of olive oil enriched with medium chain fatty acids catalysed by commercial immobilised lipases

Structured triacylglycerols, containing medium chain fatty acids, were produced by acidolysis of virgin olive oil with caprylic or capric acid, at a molar ratio of olive oil:fatty acid of 1:2, at 45 °C for 24 h, in solvent-free media or in n-hexane, catalysed by Thermomyces lanuginosa (Lipozyme TL IM), Rhizomucor miehei (Lipozyme RM IM) and Candida antarctica (Novozym 435) immobilised lipases. Incorporations were always greater for capric than for caprylic acid. For both acids, higher incorporations were always attained in solvent-free media: the highest caprylic acid incorporations were obtained with Novozym 435 (25.5 mol%) and Lipozyme RM IM (25.7 mol%), while similar capric acid incorporations were obtained with all biocatalysts (27.1–30.4 mol%).     

Production of structured lipids containing conjugated linolenic acid: optimisation by response surface methodology

Structured lipids containing conjugated linolenic acid (CLNA) were produced separately by enzymatic acidolysis reaction of corn and canola oils (CAO) with bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L) seed oil fatty acids [bitter gourd seed oil fatty acids (BGFA)]. Reactions were conducted using a commercial immobilised sn‐1,3‐specific lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosa (Lipozyme TL IM) in hexane. The effects of reaction time, substrate molar ratio, temperature and enzyme amount on incorporation yield of CLNA were investigated and optimised by response surface methodology with three‐level, two‐factor face‐centred cube design. When reactions were conducted using 10% enzyme for 3 h, the optimum reaction conditions were found for corn oil (CO) as 53.5 °C and 5.9:1 BGFA/CO molar ratio. At these conditions, the incorporation of CLNA into CO was determined as 41.4%. However, CLNA incorporation into CAO was resulted as 37% at optimum conditions which were 54.2 °C and 6.8:1 BGFA/CAO molar ratio.     

Enzymatic Synthesis of Refined Olive Oil‐Based Structured Lipid Containing Omega ‐3 and ‐6 Fatty Acids for Potential Application in Infant Formula

Structured lipids (SLs) containing palmitic, docosahexaenoic (DHA), and gamma‐linolenic (GLA) acids were produced using refined olive oil, tripalmitin, and ethyl esters of DHA single cell oil and GLA ethyl esters. Immobilized Lipozyme TL IM lipase was used as the biocatalyst. The SLs were characterized for fatty acid profile, triacylglycerol (TAG) molecular species, solid fat content, oxidative stability index, and melting and crystallization profiles and compared to physical blend of substrates, extracted fat from commercial infant formula (IFF), and milk fat. 49.28 mol% of palmitic acid was found at the sn‐2 position of SL TAG and total DHA and GLA composition were 0.73 and 5.00 mol%, respectively. The total oleic acid content was 36.13 mol% which was very close to the 30.49% present in commercial IFF. Comparable solid fat content profiles were also found between SLs and IFF. The SLs produced have potential for use in infant formulas.

MODIFICATION OF FISH OIL BY LIPOZYME TL IM TO PRODUCE STRUCTURED LIPID

Stearic acid methyl esters was enzymatically interesterified with fish oil (EPAX 5500) containing 44.5 and 32.6 mol% eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n-3), respectively. Lipozyme TL IM from Thermomyces lanuginosus was used to produce structured lipids (SL) that may be suitable for margarine or shortening application. Interesteri-fication was performed in hexane. Fish oil: stearic acid methyl ester levels ranging from 1 to 5 mole ratio was used. The effect of incubation time, substrate ratio and incubation temperature were also studied. Generally, as incubation time and substrate ratio increased, so did the mol % incorporation of stearic acid. After 24 h incubation in hexane, there was a 49.4 mol% incorporation of stearic acid into fish oil, while the mol% of EPA and DHA were reduced to 15.0 and 13.0 mol%, respectively. Time course studies also indicated that the highest stearic acid incorporation occurred at 72 h while 1:Sjish oil to stearic acid mole ratio gave the highest stearic acid incorporation. The data suggests that Lipozyme Ti5 IM could be used to produce SL.

Effect of enzymatic interesterification on physicochemical properties of mahua oil and kokum fat blend

Speciality fats were prepared by utilising non-traditional fats, such as mahua and kokum, made by enzymatic interesterification (IE). The fats were blended in a 1:1 ratio and subjected to IE for different times of 0.5–24 h, using 1,3-specific lipase, Lipozyme TL IM. DSC cooling and melting thermograms showed a new peak at higher temperature region on IE. The enthalpy of the newly formed peak increased with increase in the time of IE. There was a significant change in the solids fat content with time of IE and this is attributed to the decrease in monounsaturated and disaturated (SUS) types of triglycerides (TGs) and increase in trisaturated TGs. The melting profile of the blend subjected to IE for 1 h resembled that of commercial milk fat and the one interesterified for 6 h showed a wider melting range, similar to that of hydrogenated fats used for culinary and bakery purposes.     

PREPARATION OF STRUCTURED LIPIDS WITH SPECIAL FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES

Enzymatic acidolysis of rapeseed oil with capric acid was carried out to obtain structured lipids. The reaction was catalyzed by Lipozyme IM lipase from Rhizomucor miehei. The enzyme preparations contained 2.8 and 10% water. The reaction conditions were enzyme load of 8% (w/w total substrates), substrate mole ratio of 1:6 (rapeseed oil:capric acid), and reaction temperature of 65C. The results showed that triacylglycerols (TAG) after transesterification contained mainly oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids (about 90%) in the internal sn-2 position, whereas capric acid was mostly in the external sn-1,3 positions (approximately 40%). The quantity of water in the reaction medium had a significant influence on the yield and quality of the TAG fraction.     

Production and structural analysis of triacylglycerols containing capric acid and conjugated linoleic acid isomers obtained by enzymatic acidolysis

BACKGROUND: Structured lipids containing medium‐chain fatty acids have interesting applications as reduced‐calorie fats; moreover, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers have shown interesting biological properties. The aim of this study was to synthesize triacylglycerols (TAGs) containing capric acid in the sn‐1‐ and sn‐3‐ positions and CLA isomers in the sn‐2‐ position, using different commercial available lipases. RESULTS: The homogeneous CLA‐TAGs (Tri‐CLA) were chemically synthesized starting from glycerol and CLA isomers, 9‐cis,11‐trans and 10‐trans,12‐cis CLA. The acidolysis reactions of Tri‐CLA with capric acid were carried out at 55 °C for different times in hexane; after 96 h the acidolysis average yield was 65%. The best capric acid incorporation in total TAGs was obtained after 96 h with Lipozyme IM (56.6%). The results of structural analysis carried out on the obtained TAGs showed that both Novozyme 435 and anhydrous Lipozyme IM gave the best incorporation of capric acid in sn‐1(3)‐ positions (61.8%). However, anhydrous Lipozyme IM gave also the highest CLA percent content in sn‐2‐ position (73.2%). CONCLUSION: Anhydrous Lipozyme IM appears to be the more effective enzyme in acidolysis reactions to obtain structured TAGs containing CLA isomers in the central position and capric acid at external positions.
