Triacetin → Glyceryl Acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetoglyceride fat mixtures are prepared using the interesterification procedure of Example 1, except that the interesterification mixture contains hydrogenated canola with both tripropionin (1.25 moles, 2.25 moles and 6 moles per mole hydrogenated canola) and triacetin (in the same proportions), the reaction temperature is 120° to 125° C., and 0.2 to 0.5% sodium methoxide is employed. Though reactions are run for about 5 to 30 minutes, most are complete in less than 10 minutes. The samples are steam deodorized after interesterification as set out in Example 1.
