[PROBLEMS] To develop a synthesis method for mass-producing a novel capsaicinoid-like substance at low cost and in a short time. SOLUTION: A lipase is used as an enzyme, and has a general formula (II): (Wherein, R, R1, R2, and R3, and R ′ each represent an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, and at least one of R1, R2, and R3 is equal to R). A method for synthesizing a novel capsaicinoid-like substance by reverse reaction of lipase using acylglyceride or fatty acid and vanillyl alcohol as substrates. |
