Modification of hydrogenated canola oil/palm sterin/canola oil blends by continuous enzymatic interesterification.

Three fat blends containing hydrogenated canola oil (HCO), palm stearin and canola oil (45/25/3) were interesterified in a temperature and moisture controlled packed column reactor. The moisture of the fats was controlled by a pre-column paqcked with Biobne (a granulated choclem bome ,ateroa; [pssesssomg gppd ,ecjamoca; strength)The changes in the composition of the major triglycerides (C48,C50,C52 and C54) were followed by GLC. Both the moisture content of the Biobone and the flow rate significantly affected the composition of C48,C52 and C54 triglycerides during interesterification. Other factors such as the age of the Lipozyme used, and that of the Biobone, also contributed to the variation in C48,C50 and C52 composition. An increase of more than 50% of C52 in the interesterified blends indicated that a large portion of the palmitic acid residues from the palm stearin were exchanged with an 18 carbon fatty acid present in the C54 molecules of the cano products. A flow rate of 11.4 g/h and a moisture content between 13.2 and 19.2 were most effective for interesterification. However, the higher levels of free fatty acids (FFA), monoglycerides (MG) and diglycerides (DG) detected in the interesterified blends as compared with the control blends indicated that some degree of hydrolysis also occurred, the total amounts of FFA, MG and DG were higher by 5.9% to 13.0% in the interesterified blends.
