Preparation of Fatty Acid and Monoglyceride from Vegetable Oil

Abstract: Introduction Fatty acids and monoglycerides are two groups of lipid compounds that can be produced from vegetable oils or animal fats. Vegetable oil is a triglyceride compound, also known as triacylglycerol or glycerol triester, with the acyl group that comes from a fatty acid. The type of vegetable oil is determined by the kind of fatty acid that is bound to triglycerides. Triglycerides of vegetable oils comprises of certain major fatty acids with some other minor fatty acids. For example, the coconut oil Coc… Show more

“…This reaction is carried out at an elevated temperature, and fatty acid radicals of triglycerides are randomly redistributed between the hydroxyl groups of glycerol and the newly-formed PGs. This is a reversible reaction, and the final product is a mixture of mono-, di- and tri-glycerides, where the percentages of which correspond to the final equilibrium state [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ].…”

“…Their synthesis can be made according to schematic reactions presented in Figure 11. As seen, mono-and diglycerides of fatty acids may be produced by chemical methods, such as inter-esterification (glycerolysis) of fatty acid esters with glycerol and direct esterification of glycerol with fatty acids [47][48][49]. Some methyl esters of the fatty acids used are depicted in Figure 12.…”

“…Mono-and diglycerides of fatty acids are amphipathic molecules, which can be represented as depicted in synthetic pathways of Figure 11. They can be absorbed in the water/oil surfaces once the hydrophilic head has a high affinity for water, and a lipophilic tail to the oil [49]. The structure of mono-and di-glycerides of fatty acids classifies them as surfactants, i.e., surface-active agents or molecules that migrate to the interface between two phases (solid, liquid, or gas).…”

“…However, there are several prolific producers of polyunsaturated oils among marine microorganisms, including microalgae and protists (thraustochytrids) [ 144 , 145 ]. This does offer the opportunity to use marine microbial oils as a feedstock for the production of mono- and di-glycerides through controlled glycerolysis [ 146 ].…”
