Esterification of hydrophilic diols catalysed by lipase in microemulsions

Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The esterification of various hydrophilic diols with fatty acids catalyzed by LipolaseTM was carried out in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion systems stabilized with sodium(bis-2-ethylhexyl)sulphosuccinate (AOT) as surfactant in isooctane. Mono- and di-esters were selectively synthesized with high reaction rates. The product distribution depends on substrates concentration. Microemulsions appear to be an effective and fast system for esterification of diols.
