Solvent free triglyceride synthesis using lipozymeTM IM-20

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The synthesis of triglycerides using LipozymeTM IM-20 (Mucor miehei lipase immobilized on weak anion exchange resins by Novo) is described. Use of pure substrates in stoichiometric amounts in the absence of any organic solvent enables high conversion to be obtained with the addition of molecular sieves to remove water produced by the reaction.
