Resumen:
The human metabolism of 1,3-diglyceride is believed to occur through a pathway that avoids re-synthesis of triglycerides and the consequent fat deposit in the body tissues. The synthesis of healthy vegetable oils with reduced triglyceride content was investigated using food production-compatible MgO as basic catalyst. The partial conversion of the triglycerides present in commercial edible oils into diglycerides was carried out by glycerolysis. After optimizing the reaction conditions such as temperature, glycerol/triglyceride ratio, and inert gas flow rate, triglyceride conversions of up to 70% were reached after 8h as well as a product containing 54% of diglycerides, 67% of which is the healthier 1,3-isomer.
