Abstract:
Feruloylated mono- and di-acylglycerols were synthesized in a two step reaction: ethyl ferulate was first transesterified
with glycerol and then this was esterified with oleic acid. The yield of the combined feruloylated mono- and di-acylglycerols
in the second reaction reached 96% when esterification of 0.3 g transesterification products with 2.22 g oleic acid was catalyzed
with 0.25 g Candida antarctica lipase at 60°C under a vaccum of 10 mmHg for 1.33 h.
