Silica immobilized lipases have been prepared and utilized in the valorization of fatty acid-derived food waste streams under continuous flow conditions. Findings demonstrate that better conversions could be obtained when compared with commercially available immobilized enzymes. † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See

Lecitase Ultra was immobilized on Amberlites XAD2 and XAD4, through physical entrapping under conventional stirring or ultrasound irradiation, and characterized by standard techniques. The resulting immobilized biocatalysts were utilized in the valorization of an acidic food-derived residue from a palm oil refining process to produce monoacylglycerols from isopropylidene glycerol under batch and continuous flow conditions. Results indicated that the immobilized biocatalysts could moderately convert the food waste residue (max. conversion 50-60 %), exhibiting interesting stability under continuous flow conditions.
