Abstract:
A method for producing a fatty acid ester according to the present invention includes mixing a raw fat or oil, a liquid enzyme, and an alcohol having 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the presence of water and an electrolyte. According to the present invention, a fatty acid ester can be efficiently produced via a transesterification reaction without using any expensive buffer solution or amphipathic substance. Furthermore, in the reaction, it is not necessarily required to agitate reactants at a high speed, which makes the present invention adaptive to various production facilities and conditions.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for producing a fatty acid ester comprising:\n mixing a raw fat or oil, a liquid enzyme, and an alcohol having 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the presence of water and an electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte comprises at least one salt selected from the group consisting of sodium hydrogen carbonate, calcium chloride, trisodium citrate, sodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, and sodium chloride.
