Unlocking the benefits of plant oil hydrolysis
Introduction
Plant-derived oils, composed primarily of triacylglycerides (TAGs), are the foundation of many products in industries such as nutrition, cosmetics, and detergents. The effective hydrolysis of these TAGs, which consist of three fatty acid chains esterified to a glycerol backbone, is essential for the efficient production of downstream oleochemicals. However, the industry has long faced challenges in maximising the yield of free fatty acids while maintaining cost efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Highly effective lipase, Lipomod® 70MDP resolves these issues by enabling superior breakdown of TAGs into their core components: glycerol and valuable free fatty acids. This process unlocks a versatile range of raw materials, including high-purity fatty acids, which are essential for the manufacture of soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and even pharmaceuticals.
