Ultrasound-assisted enzymatic synthesis of medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols from tricaprylin and algal oil.
Medium and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCTs) are functional lipids, but their efficient synthesis in various systems remains challenging. An ultrasound-assisted enzymatic interesterification process was developed using tricaprylin and algal oil as substrates. The optimized enzymatic conditions were obtained by artifi...
