Abstract:
Process for the production of liquid oils with a SAFA-content below 5 wt. %, which comprises reacting a triglyceride fatty compound (A) comprising at least a saturated and an unsaturated fatty acid moiety, with a reactant B comprising a polyhydroxy compound to form different non-triglyceride reaction products comprising diglycerides and mono-glycerides with different fatty acid composition (SU, SS and UU), which products have a different melting point and/or different solubility in compound A and decreasing the SAFA-level of liquid oil product by precipitating and removing the higher melting and/or less soluble non-triglyceride reaction products, the reactant B being selected from the group consisting of polyhydroxy compounds, long chain fatty alcohols (6-22 C-atoms); long chain unsaturated fatty acids or their esters and basic salts of inorganic cations and the reaction being performed by applying an enzyme.
