  • Publication number: 20240052385
    Abstract: A method for increasing the yield of eicosapentaenoic acid in Schizochytrium sp., the method comprising: inoculating Schizochytrium sp. ATCC 20888 into a fermentation culture medium, fermenting same under an aerobic condition, changing the temperature when fermenting is performed to the middle of a logarithmic phase, continuing fermenting same, and controlling the dissolved oxygen (DO) value to be 2%-10% after changing the temperature, wherein changing the temperature increases the initial fermentation temperature to 32° C.-37° C. from 25° C.-30° C. EPA is produced by means of fermenting with Schizochytrium sp. ATCC 20888, the dry weight of thalli in the obtained fermentation liquor reaches 66.15 g/L, the yield of oil is 9.97 g/L, and EPA accounts for 13.33% of fatty acid.

  • Publication number: 20220282290
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for synthesizing a diglyceride. The diglyceride is obtained by mixing a fatty acid donor with glycerol, partial glyceride lipase, and monoglyceride lipase by adding water, then subjecting the same to an esterification reaction, with a reaction time of 8 to 24 hours, and further separating and purifying the same. In the present invention, monoglyceride lipase is used to promote the reaction efficiency of partial glyceride lipase in the esterification reaction, so as to increase the synthesis rate of diglyceride. Compared with a single enzyme, the synthesis time is shortened by half or more, and 45.50% or more of diglyceride is obtained after the esterification reaction. Since substantially no triglyceride is generated in products, the content of DAG reaches 98% or more after the same has been purified by means of molecular distillation.

  • Patent number: 11208672
    Abstract: An enzymatic deacidification method for partial glyceride lipase and PUFA-rich oil, comprising the following steps: 1) mixing a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-rich oil with a non-polar organic solvent and a short-chain monohydric alcohol, adding an immobilized partial glyceride lipase to carry out an esterification reaction, wherein the partial glyceride lipase is a mutant obtained by mutating the Phe at the 278th position of Lipase SMG1 as Asn; 2) recovering the immobilized enzyme, and recovering the organic solvent and the monohydric alcohol so as to obtain a deacidified PUFA-rich oil. The partial glyceride lipase does not catalyze alcoholysis of triglyceride and like side reactions, has high deacidification efficiency, low reaction temperature, prevents high temperature oxidation of PUFAs, and the immobilized enzyme may be recovered and reused repeatedly, and thus the present invention has good application prospects in industry.

  • Patent number: 10870869
    Abstract: An enzymatic method for preparing glyceryl butyrate, comprising: (1) carrying out an esterification reaction between n-butyric acid and glycerol using lipase as a catalyst, ethyl acetate and/or ethyl formate as an additive; (2) separating the reaction product, recovering the additive by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain glyceryl butyrate. The invention uses lipase as a catalyst to catalyze the esterification reaction of n-butyric acid and glycerin at normal temperature and normal pressure, reduces the energy consumption of the reaction. Also, the reaction condition is mild, no side reaction happens, and no water-carrying agent is used. In addition, the additive increases the catalytic efficiency of the lipase and the conversion rate of butyric acid.
