A novel method for the synthesis of symmetrical triacylglycerols by enzymatic transesterification.

Bioresour. Technol. 196 , 559-65, (2015)

A novel two-step enzymatic method is described in this study to synthesize symmetrical triacylglycerols (TAGs) with arachidonic acid (ARA) at the sn-2 position. The processes included the synthesis of...
