- Title
High-yield synthesis of wax esters catalysed by modified Candida rugosa lipase.
- Authors
Guncheva, M. H.; Zhiryakova, D.
- Abstract
Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) was applied in a non-solvent esterification reaction to yield twelve wax esters. All products were obtained in nearly 100% yield for 10 h at 50°C when immobilized PEG2000-activated C. rugosa lipase was added to the reaction mixture. The surfactant had also a beneficial effect on the stability of the biocatalytic preparation with 83% of its activity conserved after the seventh run of repeated batch reactions.
