Abstract
Abstract Stereospecific triglycerides are prepared by a solvent-free acylation of symmetrical diglycerides. Acylation of the free hydroxyl group on the symmetrical diglyceride is accomplished by heating the diglyceride in the presence of a high aliphatic fatty acid anhydride at a temperature slightly above the melting point temperature of the mixture to form liquid phase reactants. Acylation takes place by maintaining a liquid phase reaction and converting the symmetrical diglyceride to stereospecific triglyceride.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A SOLVENT-FREE, NON-CATALYTIC ACYLATING PROCESS FOR CONVERTING A SYMETRICAL 1,3-DIGLYCERIDE HAVING A SECONDARY HYDROXYL INTO A STEREOSEPCIFIC TRIGLYCERIDE HAVING COMPRISING: PROVIDING A SYMMETRICAL 1,3-DIGYLCERIDE HAVING INDENTICAL FATTY ACID RADICALS ON THE GLYCERIDE AND SELECTED FROM STEARIC FAATTY ACID AND PLAMITIC FATTY ACID; MIXING PRIOR TO HEATING SAID SYMMETRICAL 1,3-DIGLYCERIDE WITH A MOLAR EXCESS OF FATTY ANHYDRIDE SELECTED FROM STEARIC ANHYDRIDE, PLAMITIC ANHYDRIDE. AND OLEIC ANHYDRIDE; MODERATELY HEATING SAID MIXTURE AT ABOUT 70*C TO FORM A LIQUID PHASE REACTION MIXTURE; HEATING SAID LIQUID MIXTURE AT TEMPERATURE BETWEEN ABOUT 70*C AND 200*C FOR TIME SUFFICIENT TO SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETELY ACYLATE SAID SECONDARY HYDROXYL WITH SAID FATTY ANHYDRIDE TO FORM A STEREOSPECIFIC TRIGLYCERIDE.
