Continuous flow hydrolysis of blackcurrant seed oil dissolved in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) was catalyzed by immobilized lipase Lipozyme TL IM. HPLC-MS and acid-base titration were used to determine composition of oil and hydrolysis products comprised of tri-, di- and monoglycerides, free fatty acids and glycerol. The oil contained 10 % linolenic and 2 % stearidonic fatty acids (omega-3), 51 % linoleic and 19 % gamma-linolenic fatty acids (omega-6), 12 % oleic acid, 5 % palmitic acid, and 1% stearic acid. Effects of enzyme load (17−500 mg), pressure (15−30 MPa), temperature (30−50 °C), and CO2 flow rate (0.2–4 g/min) on the conversion were evaluated. The reaction was reversible and the time to reach steady state was enzyme load-dependent and took up to 200 min. A slight drop of enzyme activity after four experimental runs and total reaction time 17 h was indicated by the decrease of free fatty acid content in the product from 0.72 % to 0.69 %. Due to the regioselectivity of lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis, the omega-3/omega-6 ratio was increased from 17:83 in oil to 23:77 in produced diglycerides.
