Abstract

Pancreatic lipase hydrolyzed fatty acids in equimolar quantities from the sn-1- and 3-positions of three synthetic enantiomeric triglycerides, two of which could make a racemic pair. The monoglycerides from digestions of five enantiomeric triglycerides were at least 99% representative of the 2-position. The data confirm that pancreatic lipase did not distinguish between the sn-1- and 3-positions and that with these triglycerides pancreatic lipolysis can be used to help establish structure. © 1969 American Oil Chemists' Society.
