Based on single factor experiment, the synthesis process of tripalmitin (PPP) from palmitic acid and glycerol by CalB immo Plus lipase catalysis in a solvent free system was optimized by response surface methodology. The results showed that the optimal synthesis process conditions were obtained as follows: reaction time 12.8 h, molar ratio of palmitic acid to glycerol 2.9∶?1, reaction temperature 75?℃ and enzyme dosage 4.4%.Under these conditions, the esterification rate and the triglycerol content were 95.44% and 85.75%, respectively. |
