Abstract
Esterification of oleic acid with lauryl alcohol, i.e. lauryl oleate, with lipase from Candida cylindracea, in micro aqueous phase was demonstrated. Di-2-ethlyehexyl sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) was used as amphiphilic molecules in organic solvent. The initial reaction rate changed with the change in the molar ratio of water to amphiphilic molecules W. The maximum rate of esterification was obtained at W=12. The reaction kinetic parameters were determined quantitatively according to Michaelis-Menten analysis based on the sequential mechanism.
