The degree of glyceride syntheses by lipase TOYO ( Chromobacterium viscosum ) and lipase OF ( Candida cylindracea ) using individual free fatty acids C 18∶1 , C 18∶2 , C 18∶3 , C 18∶4 , C 20∶4 , C 20∶5 and C 22∶6 were compared. Lipase TOYO incorporated each of the fatty acids into glycerol at levels of greater than 89%. Lipase OF incorporated most of the fatty acids at levels above 70% (docosahexaenoic acid incorporation was 63%). It was concluded that these two lipases are feasible for producing glycerides from unsaturated fatty acids.
