Enzyme-Catalyzed Esterifications in Microemulsion-Based OrganoGels.-Immobilization of enzymes in a microemulsion-based organo-gel permits the usage of water-soluble enzymes in organic solvents. The method is demonstrated by the lipase-catalyzed esterification of oleic acid (I) with various alcohols, e.g. (II). -(DA GRACA NASCIMENTO, M.; REZENDE, M. C.; VECCHIA, R. D.; DE JESUS, P.
