Abstract
Transesterification between ethyl butyrate and glycerol using very different lipase preparations (native, modified, and immobilized) in a two-phase system—no extra solvent added—has been investigated. Optimal conversion was obtained with the presence of 5% water in the reaction mixture. Only monobutyrin was produced in all conditions tested. The best enzyme preparations were nativeCandida cylindracea lipase,Mucor miehei lipase immobilized on a phenol-formaldehyde exchange resin (Lipozyme™), andC. cylindracea lipase immobilized on Celite.
