“…A series of improvements in conversion levels and/or the use of methanol as alcohol to mimic the results of the base catalysed transesterification reaction are currently ongoing as a consequence of the present legal regulations for biodiesel (EN 14214). Reasonably good results are sometimes reported due to the observed 1,2-acyl migration in the monoglycerides [66][67][68][69]. Consequently, a major drawback that limits the widespread use of the enzymatic process is not only the high cost of the lipases but also the long reaction times needed to produce conventional biodiesel (100% FAME or FAEE) due to the limitations of the enzymatic method to induce the alcoholysis of the 2-fatty acid esters of glycerol.…”

“…Several recently reported works have examined the influence of water on the transesterification activities of lipases. According to these works, a water content of at least 0.48% (wt) is required to activate the enzymes [5,[8][9][10]. That is about ten times of the allowed 0.05% water content for biodiesel in the USA [11].…”

“…Segundo alguns trabalhos, um conteúdo de água mínimo de 0,48% em peso é necessário para promover a ativação das enzimas, [173][174][175][176] em função da formação de gotas água-óleo que aumentam a área interfacial disponível. Por isso alguns trabalhos propõem a adição de água para ativar a enzima.…”
