Summary:A process for preparing fatty acid esters of saccharides which comprises subjecting at least one saccharide selected from monosaccharides having from 5 to 7 carbon atoms, disaccharides consisting of hexoses, sugar alcohols having from 4 to 6 carbon atoms, ether compounds consisting of monosaccharides having from 5 to 7 carbon atoms and monohydric alcohols, and ether compounds consisting of hexose disaccharides and monohydric alcohols, to reaction with at least one member selected from saturated and unsaturated fatty acids having from 6 to 22 carbon atoms and esters of the above-defined fatty acids and lower alcohols in the presence of an organic solvent by the use of a hydrolase. The organic solvent is at least one member selected from the group consisting of acetylacetone, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, gamma -butyrolactone and heterocyclic compounds of the following general formula (1) wherein R represents a linear or branched alkyl group having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
