The catalytic efficiency and the product yield of the preparation methods of diglycerides of examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 14 were counted, and whether the catalytic system could be used in batches was analyzed, and the results are shown in tables 1 to 3, respectively.
TABLE 1 catalytic efficiency of diglycerides
TABLE 2 product yield of diglycerides
Table 3 catalytic system batch utilization analysis
From tables 1-3, the eutectic solvent prepared from choline chloride, metal chloride (zinc chloride, ferric chloride or aluminum chloride) and glycerin can be used as a catalyst, has substrate universality, can catalyze fatty acids with different chain lengths to synthesize diglycerides, has high catalytic efficiency and high product yield, and the catalytic system can be utilized in batches, so that the use efficiency of the eutectic solvent is improved, the influence on the environment is effectively reduced, and the production is more in accordance with the green subject (examples 1-6), wherein the butyric acid is short-chain fatty acid, is easy to volatilize due to heating in the reaction process, and has relatively low catalytic efficiency and product yield.
Compared with examples 1-6, the catalyst efficiency and the product yield of the esterification of fatty acid substrates with different chain lengths to synthesize diglycerides are obviously reduced by adopting the eutectic solvent prepared from betaine, metal chloride (zinc chloride, ferric chloride or aluminum chloride) and glycerin or adopting the eutectic solvent prepared from proline and glycerin to be matched with the metal chloride, and the catalyst system cannot be utilized in batches (comparative examples 1-4 and comparative example 6). The method is likely to be because the eutectic solvent prepared from choline chloride, metal chloride (zinc chloride, ferric chloride or aluminum chloride) and glycerin is a liquid solvent, can be fully contacted with a substrate in the catalysis process, and has good catalysis performance, while the eutectic solvent prepared from betaine, metal chloride (zinc chloride, ferric chloride or aluminum chloride) and glycerin is a solid or semisolid system, and is insufficiently contacted with the substrate, the efficiency and the product yield of esterification synthesis of diglyceride are obviously reduced, and the solid or semisolid catalysis system is not easy to separate, so that batch utilization of the solvent cannot be realized. The catalytic metal chloride of comparative example 6 was also present as solid particles, and its catalytic efficiency was limited, resulting in low product yield and system failure to realize batch utilization.
In the comparative example 5, the enzymatic synthesis of diglyceride is adopted, on one hand, CALB lipase has specificity to a substrate and has reduced catalytic efficiency to the substrate with carbon chain more than 18, on the other hand, because CALB is liquid enzyme, the system moisture can inhibit the reaction from proceeding to the direction of the product without dehydration, and meanwhile, the substrate solubility is also related to the catalytic efficiency without auxiliary agent, and in addition, the product of the enzymatic process is monoglyceride as well as monoglyceride, therefore, the catalytic efficiency and the product yield of diglyceride are lower by adopting the preparation method of the comparative example 5.
Comparative examples 7 to 8 used proline, metal chlorides (zinc chloride, aluminum chloride and ferric chloride) and glycerin as a mixture (non-eutectic solvent), comparative examples 9 to 11 used choline chloride, metal chlorides (zinc chloride, aluminum chloride and ferric chloride) and glycerin as a mixture (non-eutectic solvent), comparative examples 12 to 14 used metal chlorides (zinc chloride, aluminum chloride and ferric chloride) and glycerin as a mixture (non-eutectic solvent), and the catalyst efficiency was low when the catalyst was added to different carbon chain fatty acid substrates for esterification synthesis of diglyceride, and the main reason probably was that the metal chlorides having catalytic effect were present as solid particles, the catalyst efficiency was limited, and thus the product yield was also low, and the system could not realize batch utilization.
