Zusammenfassung:A method for degumming an oil composition comprises the steps of (a) prov iding an oil composition containing a quantity of phospholipids, (b) contact ing said oil composition simultaneously with one or more phospholipase A enz ymes and one or more phospholipase C enzymes, under conditions sufficient fo r the enzymes to react with the phospholipids to create phospholipid reactio n products, and (c) separating the phospholipids reaction products from the oil composition, the remaining oil composition after the separation being a degummed oil composition, whereby during step (b) the reaction of said one o r more phospholipase A enzymes proceeds at a faster rate than it would in th e absence of said one or more phospholipase C enzymes. In a preferred embodi ment the reaction of step (b) continues for a duration of less than about on e hour.
