RESUMO

There has been a growing interest in healthier foods and also in products with low fat content recently. It s a new segment, in the industry of foods, impelled, mainly, by a new conscience of the consumers, that they want a better life quality, and to consume natural and healthier products. The trend will be the one of finding "more natural" methods of processing oils and fats. The structured lipids can be the way to find "healthy" fats and to disentail their association with obesity and coronary illnesses. Thus the hydrogenation and the interesterification, that are chemical processes broadly used now in the industry of oils (considered as artificial or not natural) could be substituted by enzymatic processes, that are considered "natural". The structured lipids also show their importance in the field of the medicine and nutrition, as in formulas for premature babies (trying to imitate the maternal milk) and in products for enteral and parenteral nutrition (for patients with special needs of nutrition). They can also be used in foods directed to sportsmen, which need a fast source of energy and at the same time to enjoy the benefits to the health of the long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. In this work the synthesis of structured lipids were accomplished starting from the ucuúba oil (Virola sebifera) rich in miristic acid, canola oil ( high in oleic acid) and algae oil (high in Docosahexaenoic - DHA fatty acid), using the lipases sn-1,3-specific of Rhizomucor miehei (IM 60) and the non-specific SP435 (Candida antarctica). The optimum ranges of the enzymatic reaction parameters with IM60 were 50 to 61oC, 12 to 33h o reaction time, % enzyme / substrate from 5 to 7% and molar ratio of 1:6 and 1:8 to incorporate 51% of oleic acid in the structured lipid. For the reactions with SP435, for an incorporation of 27% DHA, the optimum range of temperature was from 45 to 54oC, reaction time>22h, % enzyme/substrate 6.5% and molar ratio 1:7.
