Application

EC Number Application Comment Organism
3.1.1.3 synthesis synthesis of biodiesel by Rhizomucor miehei lipase immobilized on macroporous anion exchange resins using an ethanolysis process of sunflower oil. Quantitative conversions of triglycerides to fatty acid ethyl esters is obtained under mild reaction conditions that correspond to the transformation of triglycerides in a mixture of two moles of fatty acid ethyl esters and a mole of monoglyceride, thus avoiding the glycerol production. Reaction can be carried out under standard conditions with oil/ethanol volume ratio 12/3.5 ml at 40°C and 40 mg of immobilized enzyme Rhizomucor miehei
