Alcoholysis of vegetable oil catalyzed by an isozyme of Candida rugosa lipase for production of fatty acid esters
نویسنده
چکیده
Celite immobilized Lipase 4, an isoenzyme of commercial Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) obtained from the fungus, Candida rugosa has been catalyzed alcoholysis in dry ethanol of various triglycerides and soybean oil. The advantages of this process are that separation of the product is very easy and no additional solvent is required as alcohol acts both as a reactant and medium. The yield of monoglycerides affected by temperatures and different organic solvents has been discussed. The efficiency of catalyzed alcoholysis and operation stability of Lipase 4 was found to be better than CRL.

Immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase on MCM-41 for the transesterification of cotton seed oil.
Present study demonstrated the preparation of MCM-41 as a support for the immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase by the physical adsorption technique. The lipase immobilized MCM-41 has been characterized by scanning electron microscopic and FTIR techniques. At pH 6, maximum lipase immobilization (250 mg/g) on MCM support has been observed and the immobilized lipase was employed as biocatalyst ...

Hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) derived from omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have been known as versatile bioactive molecules. However, its practical production from omega-3 or omega-3 rich oil has not been well established. In the present study, the stereo-selective enzymatic production of 9R-hydroxy-10E,12Z,15Z-octadecatrienoic acid (9R-HOTE) from α-linolenic acid (ALA) in perilla seed oil (PO...
