Human milk fat (HMF) triacylglycerols (TAGs) mainly contain palmitic acid esterified at the sn-2 position while oleic and other unsaturated fatty acids are located at positions sn-1,3. This study aimed at the production of HMF substitutes (HMFS) by lipase-catalyzed acidolysis of tripalmitin with oleic acid, in a solvent-free medium. Burkholderia cepacia lipase (BCL) was immobilized in silica (prepared with prot...
