Fat and/or wax activated by means of the water-insoluble fraction of Carica papaya sap

A method for enriching a fat with diacylglycerols and/or a fatty alcohol-enriched wax, the method comprising:

• 1) obtaining a water-insoluble fraction of Carica papaya sap, enriched with Carica papaya lipase, by:
• a) suspending dried Carica papaya sap in distilled water in a weight ratio of dried raw Carica papaya/distilled water of between 0.01 and 0.5, between 0.05 and 0.25, between 0.08 and 0.2, or 0.1 to create a suspension;
• b) stirring the suspension obtained in step a) for a time period of between 15 minutes and 240 minutes, a time period of between 30 minutes and 180 minutes, between 60 minutes and 150 minutes, or 120 minutes at room temperature;
• c) centrifuging the suspension obtained in step b) for a time period of between 5 minutes and 90 minutes, between 15 minutes and 60 minutes, or between 20 and 40 minutes, and at a rotation speed of between 2000 and 6000 rpm, between 3000 and 5000 rpm, or at 4000 rpm to obtain a pellet containing the water-insoluble fraction of the Carica papaya sap, enriched with Carica papaya lipase;
• and
• d) recovering the pellet containing the water-insoluble fraction of the Carica papaya sap, enriched with Carica papaya lipase from the suspension;
• and
• 2) providing a fat and/or wax;
• and
• 3) combining the water-insoluble fraction of the Carica papaya sap, enriched with Carica papaya lipase, from step d) to the fat and/or wax, to produce the diacylglycerol-enriched fat and/or the fatty alcohol-enriched wax.
