Reactions were conducted in two differenttert-alcohols. Based on the phase equilibrium data, the amount of solvent added to create a homogeneoussystem has been calculated and optimized. The immobilized lipase used in this work was Lipozyme RM IMfrom Rhizomucor miehei, a water dependent lipase. The amount of water added as well as other reaction parameterswere studied to evaluate the optimum conditions for monoacylglycerol obtencion. An initial reactant moleratio glycerol to sardine oil 3:1, 12 wt% of water based on glycerol content and 10 wt% of lipase loading (basedon weight of reactants), achieved a MAG yield of around 70%, with nearly 28 wt% PUFA, with low free fattyacid content (lower than 18 wt%).
