  • Patent number: 9006474
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a refined fat or oil, including: carrying out a first steam treatment of bringing a fat or oil into contact with water vapor; and subsequently carrying out a second steam treatment of bringing the fat or oil having a temperature lower by 10° C. or more than a temperature of the fat or oil in the first steam treatment into contact with water vapor in the presence of an organic acid.

  • Publication number: 20110053229
    Abstract: Provided is a method of producing an immobilized lipolytic enzyme which has almost the same ability as that of an unused immobilized enzyme by effectively utilizing an immobilization carrier in a used immobilized enzyme which has been used in an esterification reaction. The method of producing an immobilized lipolytic enzyme includes: mixing an immobilized lipolytic enzyme that has been used in an esterification reaction with a solvent to wash the immobilized lipolytic enzyme so that the residual oil content in the immobilized lipolytic enzyme is reduced to 50 parts by mass or less based on 100 parts by mass of an immobilization carrier; bringing the immobilized lipolytic enzyme into contact with an alkali solution; collecting the immobilization carrier; and adsorbing a lipolytic enzyme on the immobilization carrier.
