Abstract
The present invention provides a method for vegetable oil deacidification by enzymatic amidation, which relates to the field of oil refining technology. The present invention is carried out through mixing high acid value vegetable oil with ethanolamine at a certain molar ratio in a solvent or solvent-free system, adding with a certain amount of lipase, and reacting at certain temperature for a period of time. The monoethanolamine has been used as an acyl donor for the first time to react with free fatty acid, which avoids the increasing amount of by-products and great loss of neutral oil in reaction that involved with triglycerides. The method of the present invention has the advantages of high selectivity, high catalytic efficiency, and environment friendly in the reaction. From enzymes recycling, it greatly reduces costs, which shows tremendous potential in the application.
