Latest Patents
Roxana holds a patent for a process titled "Process for the production of glycerides with lipases." This invention provides a method for producing 2-monoglycerides (2-MG) or triglycerides (TG) with a focus on achieving extremely high purity and efficiency. The process involves conducting alcoholysis of a starting TG with a first 1,3-lipase to produce 2-MG. Subsequently, TG is generated by introducing fatty acid residues to the 1- and 3-positions of the produced 2-MG using a second 1,3-lipase. The fatty acid residue in the 2-position is preferably a residue of DHA, EPA, or ARA.
