中链脂肪酸及其甘油酯开发应用现状Development and application status of medium-chain fatty acid and its glycerides

Abstract

为促进中链脂肪酸（MCFA）及其他相关功能性结构脂的深入开发和合理利用，以MCFA及其甘油酯为研究对象，综述了其来源、营养特性，制备方法和应用现状。MCFA主要来源于母乳与牛羊乳的乳脂以及某些特定的植物油中，具有快速提供能量、抑制体内脂肪堆积、改善肠道菌群结构、调节血糖和抑制炎症等功能；MCFA的制备方法主要包括醇解法、酯化法、酯交换法和生物合成法等；MCFA在食品与保健品、动物饲料、医药及化工等领域均有应用，市场前景广阔。In order to promote the further development and rational utilization of medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) and other related functional structure lipids, with MCFA and its glycerides as research objects, their sources, nutritional properties, preparation methods and application status were reviewed. MCFA is mainly derived from milk fat of breast milk, cow milk and goat milk and some specific vegetable oils, which has the functions of providing energy quickly, inhibiting the accumulation of body fat, improving the structure of intestinal flora, regulating glycometabolism and inhibiting inflammation,etc. Its preparation methods mainly include alcoholysis, esterification, transesterification and biosynthesis, etc. It has been applied in food and health care products, animal feed, pharmaceutical and chemical industry, and has broad market prospects.
