Pancreatic lipolysis of enantiomeric triglycerides
Authors:
Abstract
Pancreatic lipase hydrolyzed fatty acids in equimolar quantities from thesn‐1‐ and 3‐positions of three synthetic enantiomeric triglycerides, two of which could make a racemic pair. The monoglycerides from digestions of five enantiomeric triglycerides were at least 99% representative of the 2‐position. The data confirm that pancreatic lipase did not distinguish between thesn‐1‐ and 3‐positions and that with these triglycerides pancreatic lipolysis can be used to help establish structure.Keywords
