Lipase Catalyzed Methanolysis of Tri-(12-Hydroxy Stearoyl)-Glycerol in Organic Solvents

چکیده
Castor oil is the source of numerous products and is the only commercial source of the fatty acid ricinoleate, 12-hydroxy-oleate. Hydrogenated castor oil is similarly useful as the source of 12-hydroxy-stearic acid, best known as a component of lithium grease. Monoand diacylglycerols are derived from castor oil and are useful in development of lubricants and emulsifiers for cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food use. Acylglycerols derived from hydrogenated castor oil may be similarly useful, albeit with different physical and chemical properties. We have evaluated the use of immobilized lipases to generate acylglycerols, using organic solvents to modulate the action of lipase to produce monoand diacylglycerols, using tri-(12-hydroxy stearoyl)-glycerol as a model for hydrogenated castor oil. The presence of an alkylated oxygen in the solvent appears to be an important factor in supporting lipase activity, with diisopropyl ether providing the best yield of di-(12-hydroxy stearoyl)-glycerol.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), Glycerol (G) and sunflower oil blends with varying concentration were subjected to enzymatic esterification using a 1, 3- specific immobilized lipase. CLA was used as acyl due to its purported health benefits. The transesterified lipids were evaluated for free fatty acids (FFA) and composition of fatty acids by gas chromatography. Lipozyme RM IM is preferred for ...

In this work, copper(II) heterogeneous nanocatalyst supported on modified AlPO4 (Cu(II)-DA@Nano AlPO4) was used for the synthesis of some biological active heterocyclic molecules, particularly for the efficient conversion of a wide range of non-activated terminal alkynes to β-hydroxy 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazolethrough a three-component “click” reaction at room temperature in water. The reg...

The influence of water content on the lipase-catalyzed acidolysis of triolein (glycerol-trioleate, TO) and caprylic acid (CA) in hexane, using an immobilized enzyme was studied. An adequate water content (RW) ranged from near zero to 0.1 g of water/g of dry enzyme. Over these values there was a decrease in the rate of incorporation of CA into triglyceride. This decrease was attributed to the pr...

A combination of Novozym 435-catalyzed methanolysis and amidation using racemic N-methyl-5-acetoxytridecan- and tetradecanamides as a substrate proceeded in good enantioselectivity to afford the corresponding (R)-N-methyl-5-acetoxyalkanamides, (S)-N-methyl-5-hydroxyalkanamides, and (S)-N-cyclohexyl-5-hydroxyalkanamides. Both enantiomers of δ-tri- and δ-tetradecalactones were synthesized in over...
