Intermolecular specificity of pancreatic lipase in the lipolysis of triacylglycerols containing phytanic acid.
Treatment of mixtures of glycerol tripalmitate and rac-glycerol 1,2-dipalmitate 3-phytanate with pancreatic lipase demonstrated that phytanic acid retarded the release of palmitic acid esterified in the same triacylglycerol.
