Abstract
Structured lipids are referring to any triacylglycerols containing
both long chain fatty acids (mostly essential fatty acids) and
medium or short chain fatty acids. In case of specific-structured
lipids (SSLs), each group of fatty acids locates specifically at
sn-2 or -1.3 positions of the glycerol backbone. Recently the
nutritional perspectives of this kind of lipids attract many
interests. This causes an increasing interest in the production of
them by lipase-catalyzed interesterification. One of the
advantages of lipase method over chemical ones is that SSLs can be
produced with particular fatty acids in specific position(s) to
target specific diseases, metabolic conditions and for optimal
nutrition for particular population groups. In this article, the
nutritional perspectives of SSLs are reviewed and the production
process by lipase-catalyzed interesterification is evaluated.
