Abstract

This study reports the properties of immobilized MAS1-H108A lipase from marine Streptomyces sp. strain W007 on XAD1180 resin and its application in the synthesis of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-rich triacylglycerols (TAG) for the first time. It was found that the optimal temperature and pH for both immobilized MAS1-H108A lipase and free lipase MAS1-H108A were 70 °C and 7.0, respectively. However, immobilized MAS1-H108A lipase exhibited higher thermostability when compared with free lipase MAS1-H108A. It was also interesting that both immobilized MAS1-H108A lipase and free lipase MAS1-H108A showed no regiospecificity in the hydrolysis of triolein. Subsequently, immobilized MAS1-H108A lipase and free lipase MAS1-H108A were employed to catalyze glycerolysis of n-3 PUFA-rich ethyl esters (EE) and esterification of n-3 PUFA with glycerol under vacuum in the solvent-free system. The results showed that n-3 PUFA-rich TAG were synthesized efficiently by non-regiospecific immobilized MAS1-H108A lipase and TAG contents separately reached 92.07% and 76.13% during the esterification and glycerolysis reactions, which were significantly higher than those (71.82% and 39.62%, respectively) obtained by free lipase MAS1-H108A. Besides, TAG exhibited similar n-3 PUFA composition to the substrate. These findings indicated that non-regiospecific immobilized MAS1-H108A lipase is a promising and efficient biocatalyst for the industrial synthesis of n-3 PUFA-rich TAG.
