Patent

CA 2732246

The present invention relates to a method for reducing the amount of steryl glycoside in an oil or fat (e.g. a biofuel substrate) and/or a biofuel, the method comprising admixing one or more enzymes with an oil or fat comprising steryl glycoside; such that said one or more enzymes degrades the steryl glycoside. The one or more enzymes is preferably an enzyme which is capable of hydrolysing the glycosidic bond in a steryl glycoside. Suitably the enzyme may be a glycosidase enzyme and/or a .beta.-glucosidase and/or an amyloglucosidase.

Cette invention concerne une méthode de réduction de la quantité de stérol glycosylé dans une huile ou une graisse (substrat de biocarburant par exemple) et/ou un biocarburant, la méthode comprenant le mélange dune ou plusieurs enzymes avec une huile ou une graisse comprenant des stérols glycosylés, de telle sorte que ladite ou lesdites enzymes dégradent les stérols glycosylés. Lenzyme ou les enzymes sont de préférence une ou des enzymes capables dhydrolyser la liaison glycosidique dans un stérol glycosylé. Lenzyme est de préférence une glycosidase et/ou une ß-glucosidase et/ou une amyloglucosidase.
