Abstract The application of lipases for modification of fats and oils by interesterification is expected to become a parallel route to that of developing the oil seed plants into producing fats and oils of desired characteristics. Total hydrolysis of fats and oils using microbial lipases in order to produce free fatty acids is being investigated. At present it is not clear, whether this type of process will be technically and economically feasible compared to the traditional high temperature, high pressure process mentioned. Methods for the evaluation of characteristics as position specificity and specificity towards short chain versus long chain (C 14 –C 20 ) fatty acids have been described, as well as methods for the evaluation of interesterification and hydrolysis of fats and oils.
