Oil composition with mono-acylglycerides

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a deodorized oil with in-situ prepared mono-acylglycerides and the oil obtained as such. It relates to a process for preparing a deodorized oil containing in-situ prepared mono-acylglycerides by interesterifying in presence of an enzyme a glyceride containing fraction wherein the ratio of free and esterified hydroxyl groups (OH) to free and esterified fatty acids (FA) is greater than 1.07 and obtaining an oily composition containing less than 1% w/w, preferably less than 0.5% free fatty acids. Furthermore it relates to a deodorized oil containing 30 to 70% triglycerides, 20 to 50% di-acyl glycerides, 1.5 to 25% mono-acyl glycerides.

1 - 15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . A deodorized oil comprising 35 to 65% w/w triglycerides, 20 to 50% w/w di-acyl glycerides, and 1.5 to 25% w/w mono-acyl glycerides. 
     
     
         17 . The deodorized oil according to  claim 16 , wherein the mono-acylglycerides are present in an amount of from 3% to 15% w/w. 
     
     
         18 . The deodorized oil according to  claim 16 , wherein the mono-acylglycerides are present in an amount of from 5% to 10% w/w. 
     
     
         19 . The deodorized oil according to  claim 16 , wherein the di-acyl glycerides are present in an amount from 30 to 45% w/w. 
     
     
         20 . The deodorized oil according to  claim 16 , wherein the amount of triglycerides is from 35 to 60%, the amount of di-acyl glycerides is from 30 to 45%, and the amount of mono-acyl glycerides is from 3 to 10% w/w. 
     
     
         21 . The deodorized oil according to  claim 16 , wherein the deodorized oil contains less than 1% w/w free fatty acids. 
     
     
         22 . The deodorized oil according to  claim 16 , wherein the amount of free fatty acids is less than 0.1% w/w. 
     
     
         23 . The deodorized oil according to  claim 16  further comprising an amount below 500 ppb of unwanted epoxypropanol fatty acid esters. 
     
     
         24 . A deodorized oil comprising 35 to 60% w/w triglycerides, 30 to 45% w/w di-acyl glycerides, 3 to 10% w/w mono-acyl glycerides, and less than 0.1% w/w free fatty acids. 
     
     
         25 . The deodorized oil of  claim 24  further comprising an amount below 500 ppb of unwanted epoxypropanol fatty acid esters.
