Esterification reactions catalysed by surfactant-coated Rhizopus arrhizus lipase

چکیده
The esterification activity of microbial lipase (triacyl glycerol hydrolase, E.C. 3.1.1.3) in water-organic biphasic solvent system has been investigated. The lipase produced from Rhizopus arrhizus NCM997 strain by solid-state fermentation, using rice bran as substrate, exhibited novel capability of catalyzing esterification reaction. The partially purified lipase was coated with nonionic surfactant (Span 60). The esterification activity of the enzyme was found to be optimum at 30°C and pH 6.5, and isooctane was the best solvent for esterification. Surfactant-coated lipase showed enhanced esterification activity compared to native enzyme. Among the substrates tested, palmitic acid and glycerol gave maximum conversion of 74.02%. Effect of initial water activity has been investigated using different salts of varying water activity. The maximum conversion (85.75 %) of ester was obtained with salts having less water activity (LiCl; aw. 0.12). Thus, this surfactant-coated microbial lipase in organic solvent (isooctane) has a good potential of biocatalysis.

Porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL), a comparatively inexpensive enzyme, was used in the optical resolution of (R, S)ibuprofen in methanol through enantioselective esterification. The different reaction parameters during the esterification of (R, S)-ibuprofen using PPL was studied with respect to temperature, time, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration and water content. The percentage conv...

The lipases from porcine pancreas and Cundida cylindracea have been successfully used in carrying out simple, efficient and potentially useful biotransformations on diols and peracetylated polyphenolic esters. It has been observed that the esterification reactions on 1,Zdiols are highly regiaselective and the primary hydroxyl group is exclusively esterified over the one at the secondary positio...

The activities of lipase from Candida cylindracea and Rhizopus delemar have been investigated in water/AOT/iso-octane reverse micellar media through the use of two esterification reactions: fatty acid-alcohol esterification and glyceride synthesis. Such media promotes the occurrence of these two lipase-catalyzed reactions due to its low water content. The effect of various parameters on the act...
