Popis: γ-Linolenic acid (Z,Z,Z-6,9,12-octadecatrienoic acid), a very important polyunsaturated fatty acid is found in the free fatty acid fraction prepared by the hydrolysis of borage oil. Our aim was to enrich this fraction in γ-linolenic acid using selective esterification. Candida rugosa lipase was used as catalyst after immobilization on the following ion-exchange resins: Amberlite IRC50, IRA35, IRA93, and Duolite A7, A368, A568. In every case, immobilization modified the lipae’s specificity: palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids were preferentially esterified compared to γ-linolenic acid, thus allowing a γ-linolenic acid enrichment of 3.0.
