The interesterification of natural blends will improve certain physical and nutraceutical properties by modification of their acylglicerol profile, creating structured lipids to be incorporated in margarines and shortenings. Reactions were carried out at 60 ºC at atmospheric pressure (0,1 MPa) and at 25, 50, 75 and 100 MPa. The 4 biocatalysts (“Lipozyme RMIMTM”, “Lipozyme TLIMTM”; “Novozym 435TM” and the lipase/acyltranferase from C. parapsilosis) were reused in consecutive 3h-batches, in a total of 6 batches, using fresh medium. The interesterification activity was accompanied by changes in the solid fat content at 35 ºC (SFC35 ºC). “Lipozyme RMIMTM” and the lipase/acyltransferase decreased their activity with increasing pressure. Conversely, “Lipozyme TLIMTM” and “Novozym 435TM” increased their activity with increasing pressure. The best results in terms of operational stability were observed for “Lipozyme TLIMTM”. In this work, free fatty acids (FFA) and oxidation products were also assayed
