The invention discloses a method for preparing
lysophosphatidyl choline by enzymatic alcoholysis, which comprises: adding
phosphatidylcholine into low-carbon
alcohol solution, uniformly stirring and mixing at a certain temperature, adding
lipase, and allowing the
lipase to catalyze the alcoholysis of
phosphatidylcholine with constant-temperature stirring to obtain the
lysophosphatidyl choline. The method has the advantages that: (1) the
solubility of
phosphatidylcholine,
lysophosphatidyl choline serving as the product, and aliphatic ester, glycerophosphorylcholine and very small amount of
fatty acid, which serve as byproducts, in the
reaction system is improved, and the conversion rate of the lysophosphatidyl
choline is high; (2) the aliphatic ester, a small amount of glycerophosphate and a very small amount of
fatty acid are generated in an alcoholysis reaction process, but the pH value of the
system is not changed, and the influence of the
solvent on the activity of the
lipase is relieved and the catalytic reaction activity of the lipase is high; (3) the properties of the
fatty acid, the aliphatic ester and glycerophosphorylcholine, which are products of side reactions, are very different from those of the lysophosphatidyl
choline, so the lysophosphatidyl
choline product can be separated and purified very easily; and (4) the
alcohol, which is the product of the reaction, can be removed easily.
