Description

本発明は、高度不飽和脂肪酸を含有する、モノグリセリド及びジグリセリドを、中鎖脂肪酸存在下でリパーゼ処理する高度不飽和脂肪酸及び中鎖脂肪酸含有トリグリセリドの製造方法であって、前記モノグリセリド及びジグリセリドの質量比が20:80〜85:15であることを特徴とする、高度不飽和脂肪酸及び中鎖脂肪酸含有トリグリセリドの製造方法に関する。 The present invention is a method for producing a highly unsaturated fatty acid and a medium-chain fatty acid-containing triglyceride in which a monoglyceride and a diglyceride containing a highly unsaturated fatty acid are treated with lipase in the presence of a medium-chain fatty acid, and the mass ratio of the monoglyceride and the diglyceride. The present invention relates to a method for producing a highly unsaturated fatty acid and a medium chain fatty acid-containing triglyceride, which comprises 20:80 to 85:15.

高度不飽和脂肪酸及びその誘導体は、血中脂肪の低減等の多くの生理活性を有し、古くから医薬品、化粧品、食品等の原料として使用されており、その中には、種々の生理活性を有するものが知られており、国内外において医薬品や特定保健用食品、機能性表示食品、サプリメント等としての需要が高い。
しかしながら、高度不飽和脂肪酸を構成脂肪酸とする天然の油脂は、通常パルミチン酸やステアリン酸、オレイン酸といったその他の脂肪酸も含むトリグリセリドを構成しており、天然の油脂を摂取することで上記のような効果を得るためには多量の摂取量が必要となる。
Highly unsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives have many physiological activities such as reduction of blood fat, and have been used as raw materials for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods, etc. for a long time, and various physiological activities are contained in them. It is known to have, and is in high demand in Japan and overseas as pharmaceuticals, foods for specified health uses, foods with functional claims, supplements, etc.
However, natural fats and oils containing highly unsaturated fatty acids as constituent fatty acids usually constitute triglycerides including other fatty acids such as palmitic acid, stearic acid, and oleic acid, and by ingesting natural fats and oils, as described above. A large amount of intake is required to obtain the effect.

そこで、高度不飽和脂肪酸を構成脂肪酸とする天然の油脂にエチルエステル化処理を施し、脂肪酸種の物理的特性の違いを利用して高度不飽和脂肪酸のエチルエステル化物を高純度化する方法が開発されている。しかしながら、トリグリセリドのようなアシルグリセロールと比べてエチルエステル化物は体内への吸収性が悪いことが知られている。
そのため、体内への吸収性の優れた高度不飽和脂肪酸含有トリグリセリドの製造方法が求められている。
Therefore, a method has been developed in which natural fats and oils containing highly unsaturated fatty acids as constituent fatty acids are subjected to ethyl esterification treatment, and the ethyl esterified products of highly unsaturated fatty acids are purified by utilizing the difference in physical properties of fatty acid species. Has been done. However, it is known that ethyl esterified products are less absorbable into the body than acylglycerols such as triglycerides.
Therefore, there is a demand for a method for producing a highly unsaturated fatty acid-containing triglyceride having excellent absorbability into the body.

この課題の解決策の1つに、中鎖脂肪酸の利用がある。
中鎖脂肪酸は消化吸収に優れていることが古くから知られており、流動食の脂質源などとして利用されている。
このため、中鎖脂肪酸を組み込んだ高度不飽和脂肪酸含有トリグリセリド含有組成物を得ることを目的とした製造方法の試みが行われている。
例えば、中鎖脂肪酸を高度不飽和脂肪酸含有トリグリセリドと混合した原料油脂に対し、リパーゼを作用させてエステル交換反応を行う製造方法が提案されている(特許文献1:特開平8−214891)。
One of the solutions to this problem is the use of medium-chain fatty acids.
Medium-chain fatty acids have long been known to be excellent in digestion and absorption, and are used as a lipid source for liquid foods.
For this reason, attempts have been made on a production method for the purpose of obtaining a polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing triglyceride-containing composition incorporating a medium-chain fatty acid.
For example, a production method has been proposed in which a transesterification reaction is carried out by allowing lipase to act on a raw material fat or oil in which a medium-chain fatty acid is mixed with a triglyceride containing a highly unsaturated fatty acid (Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-214891).

しかしながら、エステル交換反応が可逆的な反応のため、エステル交換反応を効率良く進めるために大量の基質(特許文献1では遊離中鎖脂肪酸)を使用する必要があり、例えば生産設備に大型のものが必要になる、反応副産物や未反応の遊離脂肪酸の量が多く精製や廃棄にコストがかかる、などといった産業的な課題がある。 However, since the transesterification reaction is a reversible reaction, it is necessary to use a large amount of substrate (free medium-chain fatty acid in Patent Document 1) in order to efficiently proceed with the transesterification reaction. There are industrial issues such as the need for a large amount of reaction by-products and unreacted free fatty acids, which makes purification and disposal costly.

また、高度不飽和脂肪酸含有モノグリセリドにリパーゼを作用させて中鎖脂肪酸を導入するエステル化反応を利用する方法が提案されているが(特許文献2:特開2002−27995号)、エステル化反応の可逆反応である加水分解反応が起きるために反応が進みづらいという課題がある。
これを解決するためには、エステル化反応の副産物である水を高温減圧条件で蒸発させながら反応を進めることが考えられる。
しかし高温条件下ではリパーゼが不活化してしまう、高度不飽和脂肪酸に熱履歴が生じて品質が損なわれる、といった別の課題が生じる。
そのため、比較的低温な条件でエステル化反応を進める場合には、特許文献2のように、エステル交換反応と同様に大量の基質が必要となる。
Further, a method using an esterification reaction in which a lipase is allowed to act on a highly unsaturated fatty acid-containing monoglyceride to introduce a medium-chain fatty acid has been proposed (Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-27995), but the esterification reaction There is a problem that the reaction is difficult to proceed because the hydrolysis reaction, which is a reversible reaction, occurs.
In order to solve this, it is conceivable to proceed with the reaction while evaporating water, which is a by-product of the esterification reaction, under high temperature and reduced pressure conditions.
However, there are other problems such as inactivation of lipase under high temperature conditions and deterioration of quality due to thermal history of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Therefore, when the esterification reaction is carried out under relatively low temperature conditions, a large amount of substrate is required as in the transesterification reaction as in Patent Document 2.

<Amount of lipase used>
The amount of lipase used may be appropriately determined depending on the reaction conditions and is not particularly limited. For example, when a free enzyme is used, generally, 1 unit (U) or more and 10,000 U or less can be added per 1 g of the reaction solution, and 5 U or more and 1,000 U or less can be added.

また、リパーゼの固定化酵素を用いる場合は、上記Uにあわせ適宜その使用量を調整すればよいが、工場等において都度のUによるリパーゼ使用量の計算等の工数の増加を避けるため反応液の質量に対して、担体の質量を含む質量として0.1質量%以上200質量%以下になるように、さらに1質量%以上35質量%以下、特に1質量%以上20質量%以下になるように添加することができる。 When a lipase-immobilized enzyme is used, the amount used may be adjusted as appropriate according to the above U, but in order to avoid an increase in the number of steps such as calculation of the amount of lipase used by U each time in a factory or the like, the reaction solution is used. With respect to the mass, the mass including the mass of the carrier should be 0.1% by mass or more and 200% by mass or less, and further 1% by mass or more and 35% by mass or less, particularly 1% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less.

The contained triglyceride is produced.

<エステル化反応>
エステル化反応とは通常、カルボキシル基を持つカルボン酸類の化合物とヒドロキシル基を持つアルコール類またはフェノール類の化合物を触媒存在下で作用させて、エステルを生じる反応を指すが、本発明においてエステル化反応とは、高度不飽和脂肪酸を含有する、モノグリセリド及びジグリセリド中のヒドロキシル基に対して基質となる遊離脂肪酸とリパーゼを作用させて、新たにエステルを生じる反応を指し、これにより高度不飽和脂肪酸及び中鎖脂肪酸含有トリグリセリドが製造される。

<Esterification reaction>
The esterification reaction usually refers to a reaction in which a compound of a carboxylic acid having a carboxyl group and a compound of an alcohol or a phenol having a hydroxyl group are allowed to act in the presence of a catalyst to produce an ester.
