Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid, is crucial for the normal development and function of the brain. Its production can be achieved through the partial hydrolysis of DHA-rich triglycerides catalyzed by lipases, particularly from fish oils. In this work, the characterization of anchovy oil capsules revealed that they offer a pure and concentrated source of DHA, with more than 90 % of the oil in the form of triglycerides. Therefore, the hydrolysis reaction was studied with the aim of releasing 100 % of the DHA present in this oil, using different immobilized lipases with maximum enzyme loading on the hydrophobic support Immobeads-C18. The study’s results revealed that our immobilization strategy through hydrophobic adsorption improved the catalytic properties of activity and selectivity of the TLL lipase compared to other biocatalysts described in the literature. Additionally, complete hydrolysis of the oil was achieved in just 24 h with the NS40-C18 derivative, which could be reused up to 6 cycles without loss of activity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
