Abstract

Candida rugosa lipase was encapsulated within a sol–gel procedure and improved considerably by fluoride-catalyzed hydrolysis of mixtures of octyltriethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane in the presence of magnetic sporopollenin. The catalytic properties of the immobilized lipases were evaluated into model reactions, i.e., the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylpalmitate (p-NPP), and the enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic naproxen methyl ester, mandelic acid methyl ester or 2-phenoxypropionic acid methyl ester that were studied in aqueous buffer solution/isooctane reaction system. The encapsulated magnetic sporopollenin (Spo-M-E) was found to give 319 U/g of support with 342% activity yield. It has been observed that the percent activity yields and enantioselectivity of the magnetic sporopollenin encapsulated lipase were higher than that of the encapsulated lipase without support. The substrate specificity of the encapsulated lipase revealed more efficient hydrolysis of the racemic naproxen methyl ester and 2-phenoxypropionic acid methyl ester than racemic mandelic acid methyl ester. It was observed that excellent enantioselectivity (E > 400) was obtained for encapsulated lipase with magnetic sporopollenin with an ee value of S-Naproxen and R-2 phenoxypropionic acid about 98%.
