Diacylglycerols (DAG) are commonly used in different purity levels for food, medicine and cosmetic industries. Several approaches are found over the literature on DAG production under lipase-catalyzed reactions among which are highlighted: glycerol sterification, vegetable oils’ glycerolysis and selective hydrolysis. Results obtained palm oil partial hydrolysis catalyzed by PS Amano IM under microwave irradiation show that DAG can be produced through short-term reactions and moderated yields (5min, 30%). The DAG production using packed bed reactors under conventional heating and continuous flow conditions is more efficient allowing us to produce 128g in 24h with flow rate as a key feature.
