Optimization of the Hydrolysis of Safflower Oil for the Production of Linoleic Acid, Used as Flavor Precursor

Figure 1

Effect of reaction time on the hydrolysis of 6 mM safflower oil, using lipases from Candida rugosa type VII (CRL) (), porcine pancreas type II (PPL) (), and Thermomyces lanuginosus (Lipozyme TL IM) (). The biocatalyst amount was 3.3 mg of solid enzyme/mL reaction mixture for CRL and PPL and 3.3 mg of granular enzyme/mL reaction mixture for Lipozyme TL IM.
