Enzymatic Production of Infant Milk Fat Analogs Containing Palmitic Acid: Optimization of Reactions by Response Surface Methodology

Normal probability (N-Probability) plot of residuals for incorporation of palmitic acid. Numbers inside the graph represent experimental values. The near-linear distribution of the experimental values indicates a good model.

Plot of observed vs. predicted values of the generated model. Numbers inside the graph represent experimental values. The near-linear distribution of the experimental values indicates a good model.

Contour plots showing effect of reaction temperature (°C), substrate molar ratio, and incubation time (h) on palmitic acid incorporation at the sn-2 position. The numbers inside the contour plots indicate the level of palmitic acid incorporation (%) at substrate molar ratios of 1 (A), 2 (B), and 3 (C).
