Response surface methodology for optimizing the glycerolysis reaction of olive oil by Candida rugosa lipase

Isolation of Candida rugosa lipase isoforms

The yeast Candida rugosa is a convenient source of lipases for science and industry. Crude preparation of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) consists of several extracellular lipases. Isoenzyme profile depends on the culture or fermentation conditions. All isoforms are coded by the lip pseudogene family; they are monomers of 534 amino acids and molecular weight of about 60 kDa. They share the same cat...

Kinetic Study of Ethyl Hexanoate Synthesis Using Surface Coated Lipase from Candida Rugosa

Kinetics of lipase-catalyzed esterification of hexanoic acid and ethyl alcohol using the solvent-free system, surface coated lipase from Candida rugosa, had been studied. The effect of various parameters such as reaction time, reaction temperature, reaction kinetics, water removal and feasibility of solvent-free system had been focused. Candida Rugosa lipase was more effective than other li...

Inhibition of Candida rugosa lipase by saponins, flavonoids and alkaloids

Response Surface Methodology for Optimizing the Production of Biosurfactant by Candida tropicalis on Industrial Waste Substrates

Biosurfactant production optimization by Candida tropicalis UCP0996 was studied combining central composite rotational design (CCRD) and response surface methodology (RSM). The factors selected for optimization of the culture conditions were sugarcane molasses, corn steep liquor, waste frying oil concentrations and inoculum size. The response variables were surface tension and biosurfactant yie...

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 ...
