Enzymatic hydrolysis is used to split palm and other vegetable oils to fatty acids at low temperature with no side reactions. Lipid esters can also be hydrolysed to their component moieties
Enzymatic glycerolysis is used to reduce FFA in high FFA technical grade oils, or to combine selected fatty acids with glycerol to make mono, di, and triglycerides
Enzymatic esterification can be used to combine fatty acids and alcohols to make a wide variety of esters such as methyl esters, wax esters, emulsifiers and emollients
