Abstract

... Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic. ... In order to obtain lipids with specific properties, a wide range of fatty acids are incorporated in specific positions of the glycerol molecule [3], [4], [5] and [6]. They include short-chain fatty acids (SCFA or S), medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA or M), and long-chain fatty acids (LCFA or L). Structured lipids of the so-called MLM type contain medium-chain fatty acids at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions of glycerol and a long ...
