Description
Summary:This invention relates to a method for producing DAG. Suitable palm-based starting materials will be used to produce products such as ?healthy? cocoa butter-like DAG to be used in the production of healthy chocolate for the growing diet-conscious consumers as well as margarine/shortening. In this project too, a different approach for the manufacturing of MLCT oil has been developed. A food grade chemical catalysts that can be regenerated for use again will be used besides the enzymic catalysts to produce both DG and MLCT oil.
