Enzymatic Esterification for Acidity Reduction of Poultry Fat

This work studies the acidity reduction of poultry fat through enzymatic esterification with ethanol to convert free fatty acids to ethyl-esters. Poultry fat samples were collected in a Portuguese company and characterized for their acid value (3.3-6.3 mg KOH/g fat), iodine value (73-109 g iodine/10...
