Abstract:The present study aimed at synthesizing fatty acid methyl esters in a combined enzymatic method by applying degumming and transesterification of soybean oil. A soluble lipase from Serratia sp. W3 and a recombinant phosphatidylcholine‐preferring phospholipase C (PC‐PLC) from Bacillus thuringiensis were used in a consecutive manner for phosphorus removal and conversion into methyl esters. By applying 1% of recombinant PC‐PLC almost 83% of phosphorus was removed (final content of 21.01 mg/kg). Moreover, a sensiti… Show more
