    Abstract: [Problems] To provide a method of producing a medium chain fatty acid or a lipid containing this fatty acid as a component by using a β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase, and a gene, a protein and a transformant for use in this method.[Means to solve] A method of producing a medium chain fatty acid or a lipid containing this fatty acid as a component, containing the steps of: introducing a gene encoding the following protein (A) or (B) into a host, and thereby obtaining a transformant, and collecting a medium chain fatty acid or a lipid containing this fatty acid as a component from the resulting transformant; and a gene, a protein and a transformant for use in this method: (A) A protein consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1; and (B) A protein consisting of an amino acid sequence having 90% or more identity with the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, and having medium chain acyl-ACP-specific β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase activity.

    Abstract: An efficient process for enzymatic hydrolysis of fats and oils in a homogenous mixture is provided herein. The present invention in particular provides a process for production of fatty acids, sn-regio mono-acylglycerol (MAG), sn-regio di-acyl-glycerols (DAG), and glycerol from fats, wherein more than 98% fats can be converted into the desired product. The present invention also provides a process for the production of fatty acids and glycerol, virtually free of sn-regio diacyl-glycerols (DAG) and comprising less than 5% sn-regio mono-acylglycerol (MAG) in the end product.
