Abstract
There is provided a method for producing a cacao butter substitute by transesterification of fats and oils containing glycerides rich in the oleyl moiety at the 2-position with an alcohol ester of stearic acid and/or palmitic acid in the presence of a lipase having reaction specificity to the 1,3-position of triglycerides and not more than 0.18% by weight of water based on the total weight of the reaction mixture. By this method, a cacao butter substitute, rich in 1,3-distearyl-2-oleyl compound and 1-palmityl-2-oleyl-3-stearyl compound is obtained, in a high reaction yield with few by-products.
