Description

TRANSESTERIFIED CORN OIL PRODUCTS This application is derived from J application number 923082.
The present invention relates to transesterified corn oil products.
In one aspect, this invention provides a trans—esterif'1cation product of corn oil and glycerol comprising predominately of linoleic acid and oleic acid mono-, di- and tri-glycerides, and having a free glycerol content less than 10% by weight, treated so as to reduce the saturated fatty acid component content of mono-, di- and tri-glycerides, and to enhance the unsaturated fatty acid component content of mono-, di- and tri-glycerides so that the linoleic acid and oleic acid mono-, di- and tri-glyceride content is in total 85% by weight or more of the whole composition.
A pharmaceutical composition is disclosed in IE 932082 comprising a cyclosporin as active ingredient in a carrier medium comprising: ) 1,2—propylene glycol; 2) a mixed mono-, di-, tri-glyceride; and 3) a surfactant.
Components (2) in the compositions disclosed in IE 922032 comprise mixtures of CW0 fatty acid mono-, di- and tri-glycerides. especially CW3 fatty acid mono-, di- and triglycerides. The fatty acid component of said mixed mono-, di- and tri-glycerides may comprise both saturated and unsaturated fatty acid residues. Preferably however they will predominantly be comprised of unsaturated fatty acid residues in particular, Cm unsaturated fatty acid residues for example linolenic, linoleic and oleic acid residues. Suitably component (2) will comprise at least 60%, preferably at least 75%, more preferably 85% or more by weight Cw unsaturated fatty acid, e.g. linolenic, linoleic and oleic acid mono-, di- and tri-glycerides. Suitably they will comprise less than 20%, e.g. ca. 15% or 10% by weight or less, saturated fatty acid, e.g. palmitic and stearic acid mono-, di- and tri-glycerides. .4559 Components (2) in the above-mentioned compositions will preferably be predominantly comprised of mono— and di-glycerides, e.g. comprise at least 50%, more preferably at least 70%, e.g. 75%, 80%, 85% by weight or more, mono— and di-glycerides, based on the total weight of component (2).
Components (2) in the compositions will suitably comprise from about 25 to about 50%, preferably from about 30 to about 40%, e.g. 35 to 40%, monoglycerides, based on the total weight of component (2).
Components (2) in the composition will suitably comprise from about 30 to about 60%, preferably from about 40 to about 55%, e.g. about 48 to 50%, di-glycerides, based on the total weight of component (2).
Components (2) in the compositions will suitably comprise at least 5%, e.g. from about 7.5 to about 15%, e.g. 9 to 12%, by weight of triglycerides.
Components (2) in the compositions may be prepared by admixture of individual mono—, di- or tri-glycerides in appropriate relative proportion. Conveniently however they will comprise transesterification products of vegetable oils, for example almond oil, ground nut oil, olive oil, peach oil, palm oil or, preferably. corn oil, sunflower oil or safflower oil and most preferably corn oil, with glycerol.
In another aspect, this invention provides a transesterification product of corn oil and glycerol having a saturated fatty acid content of mono-, di-, and trl-glycerides, and having a free glycerol content less than 10% by weight, which product comprises i) from about 25% to about 50% by weight of mono-glycerides, from about 30% to about 60% by weight of di-glycerides, and at least 5% by weight of tri-glycerides; and ii) a linoleic acid, oleic acid and linolenic acid mono-, di- and tri-glyceride content of at least 85% by weight; wherein the total saturated fatty acid content of mono-, di-. and tri-glycerides is less than % by weight.
Such transesterification products are generally obtained by heating of the selected vegetable oil with glycerol, at high temperature in the presence of an appropriate catalyst under an inert atmosphere with continuous agitation, eg. in a stainless steel reactor. to effect trans—esterif1cation or glycerolysis. In addition to their mono-, di- and tri-glyceride components, such transesterification products will also generally comprise minor amounts of free glycerol. The amount of free glycerol present in components (2) for use in the compositions of the invention will preferably be less than 10%, more preferably less than %, most preferably ca. 1 or 2% by weight based on the total weight of free glycerol plus mono-, di- and tri-glycerides.
Preferably some of the glycerol is first removed e.g. by distillation (to give a substantially glycerol free batch), when soft gelatine capsules are to be made.
Components (2) thus preferably contain lesser quantities of saturated fatty acids (e.g. palmitic and stearic acids) and relatively greater quantities of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. oleic and linoleic acids) than for the starting material.
Typical preferred components (2) preferably contain: -36% mono-glycerides, 45-55% di-glyccrides and 12-20% tri-glycerides by weight based on the total weight of component (2).
Further preferred characteristics include the following: Fatty acid content as determined as the methyl ester by chromatography Methyl linoleatc 53-63% Methyl oleate 24-34% Methyl linolenate 0- 3% Methyl arachate 0- 3% Methyl palmitate 6-12% Methyl stearate 1- 3% Relative Density 0.94-0.96 Hydroxyl Value 140-210 Iodine Value 110-120 Peroxide Value <4.0 Free Glycerol Acid value max. ca. 2 Saponiftcation no. ca. 150-185 Components (2) complying with the above outlined features are referred to herein as "refined glycerol-transesterified corn oils". Freshly prepared components (2) according to the preferred embodiments are of clear appearance and stay clear at storage temperature of °C - 25°C for more than 20 days.
The refined glycerol-transesterified corn oils have especially been proposed for the preparation of the compositions disclosed in IE 922082. They may also have uses for the solubilization of other active agents and have the advantage of remaining stable, e.g. clear, for a long time.
The following example illustrates the present invention.
EXAMPLE 1: Preparation of refined glycerol-transesterified corn oil.
Substantially-glycerol free glycerol-transesterified corn oil (if necessary after heating to give a clear mixture) is slowly cooled to a temperature of -t-20°C and kept at this temperature for one night. In a first-step centrifugation, at an acceleration of 12 000 G and (62 kg/h) and a sediment-containing phase (41 kg/h) are obtained. The liquid phase is slowly cooled to a flow rate of 103 kg/h in a continuous flow centrifuge, a liquid phase +8°C and kept at this temperature for one night. In a second-step centrifugation at an G and a flow rate of 112 kg/h a liquid phase (76.2 kg/h) and a sediment-containing phase (35.8 kg/h) are obtained. The liquid phase is "refined glycerol—transesterifted corn oil". Alternatively an improved product may be obtained by acceleration of effecting the centrifugation in three steps, e.g. at +20°C, +10°C and +S°C.
The process is characterised by a slight percentage reduction in the mono-glyceride component in the refined glycerol transesterified corn oil as compared to the starting material (e.g. 35.6% compared to 38.3%).
A typical analytical comparison between the sediment and clear solution is as follows: Compound Sediment (%) Clear Solution (%) . Mono palmitate 19.1 3.4 2. Mono linoleate + 23.4 27.0 Mono oleate 3. Mono stearate 5.7 <2 Dilinoleate + 35.4 44.7 Dioleate . Other di-glycerides 7.7 10.4 Tri-glycerides 8.7 12.5 Typical contents of components in the refined product obtained from these preparations are listed in the following Table: COMPOSITION OF COMPONENTS (% w/w) Components refined glycerol-trans- esterified corn oil Glycerides: mono 33.3 di 52.1 tri 14.6 Fatty acids: palrnitic acid (C16) 7.8 stearic acid (C18) 1.7 oleic acid (C1821) 31.6 linoleic acid (Cl8:2) 57.7 Glycerol content <1%
