Monoglyceride biosynthesis from coconut milk with lypase enzyme of sesame seed sprouts as biocatalyst

Abstract Monoglycerides are oleochemical compounds that were widely used as emulsifying agents for foods, anti-bacterial and anti-viruses (monolaurin, monocaprin). The objective of this research was to study the optimal reaction conditions in monoglyceride production from coconut milk. To achieve that purpose, the research was carried out with two factors, namely the ratio of coconut milk: glycerol (50:5; 50:10; 50:15 and 50:20) and esterification reaction time (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hour). The observation was conducted on free fatty acid levels of hydrolized coconut milk, esterification reac...
