Biodiesel is one alternative energy that might be promising to substitute the petroleum-based fuel due its biodegradability and less toxic level. Biodiesel can synthesized through non-alcohol route by substituting alcohol with methyl acetate using lipase enzyme as Biocatalyst, which may give by-product during reaction. In this research, from Bacillus subtilis ha...

This special issue is dedicated to the study of microbial enzymes and their applications in various industries. The biocatalytic uses for enzymes have grown immensely in recent years since they are ecologically correct, have a high specificity, present chemo-regio-enantio selectivity, and have a wide diversity of reactions. Moreover, the conditions to obtain and optimize the production of enzym...

Free fatty acids (FFA) have been previously shown to be an effective bactericidal agent. In this study, the FFA mixture was attempted isolate from virgin coconut oil (VCO) using lipases and fractionated obtain enriched medium-chain (MCFA) compare its antibacterial efficacy against food pathogens. Three types of – namely, lipozyme TL 100L, Candida rugosa lipase (CRL), porcine pancreas (PPL) were...
