Lipozyme® TL IM
Get higher yields of better quality interesterified oils and fats with Lipozyme® TL IM. Enzymatic interesterification with Lipozyme® TL IM offers various advantages over chemical interesterification. It allows you to produce high-quality, trans fat-free oils and fats. All without using harsh chemicals or generating unwanted by-products.
Also available in 60 L pack size.
Trans fat-free oils and fats
This product is a selective biological catalyst. It does not generate trans fat in interesterification.
More cost-effective process
This product interesterifies fat through a continuous process. This is a more cost-effective process than continuous running in chemical interesterification.
Simpler process
The continuous process needed for this product takes fewer unit operations than chemical processes. It also cuts out the need for washing and post-bleaching.
Better safety
With this product, you can completely avoid the use of hazardous chemical catalysts such as sodium methoxide. It works in a process with much lower temperatures than chemical ones.
Better quality oils and fats
Unlike chemicals, it preserves natural anti-oxidants. That improves oxidative stability for better quality oils and fats.
Higher oil yields
With this product you can avoid post-bleaching and associated oil losses in your process. That's because, unlike chemical processes, the enzymatic process doesn't generate unwanted by-products.
Lower capital cost
The process needed for this product only needs simple reactors. That means putting this product in place takes lower capital investment than chemical interesterification.
More sustainability
This product reduces energy use, acidification and smog formation. That can potentially result in greenhouse gas emission reductions. A life cycle assessment study showed CO2 reductions of up to 22% compared to chemical interesterification with this product.
Produce interesterified oils and fats more efficiently and sustainably with Lipozyme® TL IM. The enzyme is immobilized on a carrier. This carrier rearranges the fatty acids preferentially, but not uniquely, in the Sn1- and Sn3-positions of the triglycerides.
