1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD, a strong bicyclic guanidine base) functionalized SBA-15 material has been found to be an efficient solid catalyst for the interesterification between tributyrin and methyl stearate in a solvent-free system for the production of low-calorie structured lipid (LCSL). The solid base catalyst was characterized by using small-angle X-ray scattering, Fourier transform infrared spectra, thermo gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, and elemental analysis techniques. The obtained LCSL was analyzed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography for triacylglycerol composition. The influence of various reaction parameters, such as the substrate ratio, reaction temperature, and reaction time, on the interesterification reaction was investigated systematically. More than 90% LCSL was obtained at 80°C within 1 h when the methyl stearate/tributyrin molar ratio of 2:1 was employed. The obtained solid catalyst could be recovered easily and reused for several recycles with a negligible loss of activity. By using the solid base catalyst, an eco-friendly more benign process for the interesterification reaction in a heterogeneous manner was developed.
1H-Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies of saturated, acetylenic and ethylenic triacylglycerols

The 1H-NMR spectroscopic properties of 15 synthetic homologous saturated triacylglycerols of type AAA and 16 mixed saturated triacylglycerols of type ABA and AAB have been studied. Triacylglycerols containing short-chain fatty acids (2:0-6:0) are readily identified. Triacylglycerols containing medium- and long-chain fatty acid components are not differentiated. From the analysis of 19 acetylenic triacylglycerols of type AAA, ABA and AAB (containing positional isomers of acetylenic fatty acids), it is only possible to characterize triacylglycerols with acyl groups containing the acetylenic bond at the Δ2-Δ5 position. 1H-NMR analysis could not confirm the positions (α- or β-acyl) of the acetylenic acids in mixed triacylglycerols. In the study of 22 ethylenic triacylglycerols of type AAA containing positional isomers of (Z)- or (E)-ethylenic acids, molecules containing an ethylenic bond in the Δ2 position of the acyl chains were readily characterized, as the ethylenic protons in the α- and β-acyl chains were fully resolved. Triacylglycerols containing an unsaturated center at the position were characterized by the shifts of the 2-H protons. The spectra of the remaining triacylglycerol molecules were very similar and the position of the ethylenic system could not be determined by this technique.
