Abstract: Enzymatic acidolysis process was researched for the modification of sunflower oil by incorporation of CLnA (conjuge linolenic acid) isomers. Immobilized sn-1,3 specific lipase from Mucor miechei was used to modify sunflower oil to produce a new fatty acid chain with improved physico-chemical and functional properties. The acidolysis reaction of sunflower oil with pomegranate and mahlab seed oil, which is rich in CLnA, was actualized in the conditions with 10% enzyme, at 55oC, and in 1:1 substrate molar ratios. The incorporation ratio of CLnA into sunflower oil was established between 1.2% and 23.8% and so structured lipids were produced. Also, the antibacterial action of samples taken every 40 minutes from E. coli were researched. As a result, a strong antibacterial activity of CLnA extracted from structured sunflower oil was detected.
Keywords: CLnA (conjuge linolenic acid), Anti-Escheichia coli, Structured sunflower oil.
