Scheme 3. (a) The rationale to design the process protocol to obtain high purity n-3 enriched monoacylglycerols from low n-3 PUFA oil by using non-regiospecific, non-n-3 PUFA preferential lipase. (b) The practical results of representative reactions as shown by spectra of 13C-NMR analysis (Adapted from He, Li, Kodali, Chen, et al. (Citation2017)).
