  • Method for reforming fats and oils with enzymes
    Patent number: 5061498
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reforming fats and oils which comprises treating the fats and oils containing partial glycerides with two or more kinds of lipases which are different in a fatty acid specificity and/or a position specificity in the presence of a small amount of water to obtain fats and oils containing partial glycerides in a low content in a high yield. According to the invention, a reaction rate and a yield are improved.
