Definitions
- This application relates to an enzymatic method for removing various phospholipids and lecithins (known collectively as "'gums " ') from vegetable oils to produce a degummed oil or fat product that can be used for food production and/or non-food applications. More particularly, this application relates to a method for the enzymatic treatment and removal of various phospholipids and lecithins, which method can be practiced on either crude oils or water-degummed oils. In one embodiment, the enzyme reaction or treatment period can be less than about an hour.
- phospholipids contain a phosphate group on one of the two ends of the glycerol backbone, whereas a triacy .glycerol contains at least one fatty acid.
- the phosphate group of the phospholipid is "hydrophilic” or ''water-loving,” meaning that the functional group X is attracted to water.
- the phospholipid's fatty acid chains Rl and R2 are "lipophilic " ' or "lipid-loving.” meaning that they are attracted to lipids. Since the phospholipid molecule possesses both a hydrophilic functional group and lipophilic fatty acid chains, it is an excellent natural emulsifier.
- the functional group X in FIG. 1 may be any of several of a variety ofknown types, a few of which are illustrated in FIG. 2.
- Phospholipids containing the functional groups -choline and -ethanolamine have the greatest affinity for water, while the acids, acid salts (calcium, magnesium, and iron), and - inositol have much lower affinities for water.
- Phosphatidic acid and the salts of phosphatide acid are commonly known as ''Non Hydratable Phospholipids" or NHPs.
- Phospholipids are commonly measured in oil as "phosphorous content" in parts per million. Table 1 contains the typical amounts of phospholipids present in the major oilseed crops, and the distribution of the various functional groups as a percentage of the phospholipids present in the oil.
- Phospholipids can be partially or totally removed from vegetable oils through several different known means.
- the most commonly used processes in the industry are water degumming, acid degumming, caustic refining and enzymatic degumming.
- This technique is usually applied to crude oils containing a high amount of hydratable phospholipids. Due to its mild characteristics, the phospholipids obtained can be used as lecithin (a natural emulsif ⁇ er).
- the oil obtained from this technique is generally referred to in the industry as being "degummed,” despite being only partially degummed. Since water degummed oil still contains high amounts of phospholipids, especially non- hydratable phospholipids, the use of other process techniques, such as caustic refining or PL ⁇ 1 enzyme degumming, can be required to produce a finished, high quality oil having high stability and low color.
- water degumming process water (1 to 5% w/w) is added to crude oil at 60 - 75°C with vigorous mixing. The oil is then gently mixed from 15 to 60 minutes to aid the hydration of the phospholipids present in the oil.
- the hydration of the phospholipids or "'gums" causes the gums to swell and agglomerate as a flocculent.
- the flocculent is an emulsion or mixture of hydrated gums and oil.
- the emulsion has a specific gravity higher than that of the oil and may be separated by settling, filtration, or the industrial practice of centrifugation.
- the centrifuge yields two streams, water degummed oil and wet gums.
- the water degumming process removes predominately only the hydratable phospholipids. The remaining phospholipids (50 to 250 ppm), measured as the salts of phosphatidic acid and/or PL can be removed in subsequent processing operations.
- the separated wet gums are an emulsified oil mixture containing at least one molecule of triacylglycerol (or oil) for every two molecules of phospholipid (or gum).
- CHl-1627663vl emulsified oil cannot be physically separated or recovered from the emulsion and is considered a process loss.
- the gums may be dried and sold as a food grade lecithin, but they are usually used as a by product in other applications such as animal feed or in an industrial process, with reduced economic value.
- Crude oil is treated with 250 to 2000 ppm of phosphoric acid or citric acid at 60 - 90 0 C with vigorous mixing.
- the acid is allowed to react with the sails of the NHPs for a period of 10 to 90 minutes.
- the acid improves the hydrophilic nature of the NHPs, thus aiding in their removal.
- Water (1 to 5% w/w) is then added to the acid-treated crude oil at 60 - 75 0 C with vigorous mixing.
- the oil is then gently mixed from 15 to 60 minutes to aid the hydration of the phospholipids.
- the hydration of the phospholipids or "gums” causes the gums to swell and agglomerate as a flocculent
- the flocculent is an emulsion or mixture of hydrated gums and oil.
- the emulsion has a specific gravity higher than that of the oil and may be separated by settling, filtration, or the industrial practice of centrifugation.
- the centrifuge yields acid degummed oil and a wet gum.
- the acid degumming process removes most of the phospholipids, but enough still remain (25 - 100 ppm) in the degummed oil to require additional processing.
- the acid degummed oil is usually submitted to bleaching and deodorization, a process known in the industry as "physical refining".
- the gums treated with acid are no longer usable for a food grade lecithin.
- the separated and dry gums in the acid degumrning process contain at least one molecule of triacyl glycerol (or oil) for every two molecules of phospholipid (or gum). This emulsified oil cannot be physically separated or recovered and is considered a process loss, with negative economic impact on the overall economic balance of the refined oil process cost.
- Crude or water degummed oil is treated with 200 to 1000 ppm of phosphoric acid or citric acid at 60 - 90 ° with vigorous mixing.
- the acid is allowed to react with the salts of the NHPs from 10 to 90 minutes.
- the acid improves the hydrophilic nature of the NHPs, thus aiding in their removal.
- a diluted sodium hydroxide solution (10 - 18% w/w) is added to lhe acid-treated oil at 65 - 75 0 C.
- the amount of sodium hydroxide (caustic) is based on the amount of free fatty acids present in the oil as well as an excess of between 0.05 to 0.20% on a dry basis.
- the caustic solution neutralizes the free fatty acids (producing sodium soaps), neutralizes the excess acid, and with the sodium soaps created, assists in hydrating and emulsifying all the remaining phospholipids.
- the sodium hydroxide solution / oil is mixed for approximately 10 minutes then separated by settling, filtration, or industrially by centrifugation.
- the centrifuge yields a caustic treated oil and soapstock.
- the caustic treated oil is then "washed' " with 10 to 20 % softened water at 90 - 95 0 C and centrifuged again.
- the oil from the centrifuge is known as 'Once Refined” and the water is commonly known as ' " Wash Water " '.
- the "once refined' " oil is usually submitted for bleaching and deodorizat ⁇ on to produce salad oil.
- An alternative to water washing is to treat the caustic treated oil with an absorbent silica
- the separated and dry gums in the caustic refining process contain one molecule of triacylglycerol (or oil) for every two molecules of phospholipid (or gum).
- This emulsified oil cannot be physically separated or recovered and is considered a process loss.
- the sodium hydroxide will react with the neutral oil to form soaps, thereby further reducing the overall oil yield with negative economic impact in the overall economic balance on the refined oil process cost.
- Enzymatic degumming is used when the goal is the total removal of phospholipids.
- enzymatic degumming treatments of the prior art have been practiced on oils that have been degummed previously by one of the other methods, typically water degumming.
- the enzyme degummed oil is sequentially submitted to bleaching and deodorizalion, a process known in the industry as ' " physical refining.”
- Enzymatic degumming provides a better oil yield than water, acid, or caustic degumming, with improved economic results.
- the enzymatic reaction changes the nature of the phospholipid, cleaving some of the phospholipid parts. This reduces the phospholipids' emulsification properties, so that less oil is lost when the gums are separated from the oil, thus saving oil.
- Enzymes exhibiting activity with phospholipids are commonly called "'phospholipases".
- the types of phospholipase are based on the position on the phospholipid molecule at which the enzyme reacts, and are known as PLAl, PLA2, PLC, and PLD. The positions on the phospholipid molecule at which the different types of phospholipases react are illustrated in FlG. 3.
- each type of phospholipase has its own rate of reaction and its own optimal reaction conditions in terms of pH, water % and temperature.
- PLA when used alone generally requires a reaction time of at least about 4 hours, while PLC when used alone generally requires a reaction time of about one hour.
- enzymatic treatment should occur at a pH less than or equal to 8, in order to minimize undesirable oil saponification, but PLA has an optimum reaction pH of 4.5, while PLC has an optimum reaction pH of 7.0,
- Each enzyme also has different thermal tolerances. PLA enzymes will denature at about 50 0 C while PLC enzymes will denature at about 65°C.
- One commercial PLAl enzyme product with phospholipase activity is Novozymes' phospholipase Al Lecitase® Ultra. This product is known to yield polar lyso- phospholipids and polar fatty acids when mixed with degummed oil with a 1-1.5% water citric acid-NaOH buffer at 4.5 ⁇ pH ⁇ 7.0 and 40°C ⁇ T ⁇ 55°C, as described on Novozymes' Application Sheet Oils & Fats# 2002-185255-01 and 2002-05894-03.
- the PLAl selectively hydrolyzes the fatty acid opposite the phosphate functional group on the glycerol backbone, as illustrated in FlG. 4.
- the resulting reaction yields a lyso -phospholipid and a fatty acid.
- the lyso- phospholipid molecule has lost one hydrophilic functional group, and the remaining alcohol group at the reaction site is hydrophilic. Now with two hydrophilic sites, the lyso-phospholipid molecule is water soluble, and has lost its emulsification properties.
- CHI- 1627663 v 1 process thus reduces refining losses by no longer removing any neutral oil with the gums, and the only loss is the original phospholipid molecule.
- enzymatic degumming offers significant advantages to oil processors, it also poses certain disadvantages.
- One disadvantage is that the reaction of the enzyme with the phospholipids can be slow and time consuming.
- the reaction of phospholipase A enzymes with phospholipids can take many hours, depending on reaction variables such as pi L temperature, relative concentrations, and mixing conditions. Such prolonged reaction times can have a significant negative impact on the overall economic value of enzymatic degumming processes.
- enzymatic degumming is typically carried out on oil compositions that have been first been subjected to water degumming. Thus, the oil must be degummed twice to obtain a product that has a phosphorous level low enough for its intended purposes.
- PLCs will react with only certain phosphatidic groups.
- PLPLC Pi-specific PLC
- CHI-I627663vf It is thus one aspect of the invention to provide a method for enzymatic degumming of oils wherein the enzymatic reaction rate is faster than in prior art enzymatic degumming processes.
- Aalrust states that because the oil which is recovered contains less than 5 ppm of phosphorous, it is adaptable to be physically refined to edible oil.

The oil is then washed with a 30% to 200% weight parts water or acidic aqueous solution per 100 weight parts oil or fat. The total water load required to utilize the process ranges from 60% to 400% w/w of oil processed. The production of such a large effluent in an industrial plant renders this method uneconomical.

- FIG. 7 is a chart summarizing Examples 31-38. plotting the average final phosphorous amount at each level of each factor holding pH, PLA dosage, and combined addition constant,
- CHI-] 627663 vl ppm phosphorous in the final product could be achieved under the proper conditions with reaction times as low as about thirty minutes. Further, without wishing to be bound by theory. it appears that either the PLC enzyme or one of its hydrolysis reaction products is catalyzing the reaction of the PLA enzyme, allowing for the reaction time to be significantly less than the reaction time for either of the single enzymes. These results are unexpected based on the known optimum reaction parameters for PLA and PLC enzymes.
- the concentrations of the PLA and PLC enzymes to be used in a particular run the choice will depend on whether the goal is to run at the lowest possible cost or the greatest possible performance. If the goal is to run at the lowest possible cost, then the concentration of PLA can be less than about 2,0 ppm, preferably less than about 1.0 ppm, and most preferably less than about 0.5 ppm. Such a low concentration of the PLA enzyme can still provide effective degumming in many situations.
- the concentration of PLA is preferably at least about 0.5 ppm, more preferably at least about 1.0 ppm, and most preferably 2.0 ppm.
- the pH can be about 7.0, while pH of about 5.0 is preferable and pH of about 4.5 is presently preferred.
- the concentration of water in the system can be generally about 3.0%, but can be as low as about 1.5% if reduced wastewater is desired, or as high as about 4.5% if greater degumming efficiency is desired.
- the reaction temperature can be as high as about 60 0 C, but is more preferably less than about 50 0 C, and surprisingly most preferable at about 40 0 C.
- CHi-l ⁇ 27663vl time during initial mixing is can be about 45 seconds, is more preferably about 60 seconds, and is most preferably about 120 seconds
- the duration of the enzyme reaction can be greatly reduced, in some embodiments to be advantageously less than about 60 minutes, and preferably about 30 minutes.
