Solvent-Free Synthesis of Flavour Esters through Immobilized Lipase Mediated Transesterification

Abstract: The synthesis of methyl butyrate and octyl acetate through immobilized Rhizopus oryzae NRRL 3562 lipase mediated transesterification was studied under solvent-free conditions. The effect of different transesterification variables, namely, molarity of alcohol, reaction time, temperature, agitation, addition of water, and enzyme amount on molar conversion (%) was investigated. A maximum molar conversion of 70.42% and 92.35% was obtained in a reaction time of 14 and 12 h with the transesterification variables of … Show more

“…After 3 cycles, the activity remained about 50% of the initial activity. Similar results were shown by [15,37,38]. The acid values of this study were relatively low compared to literature which uses commercial immobilized lipase with a remaining activity of 50% after 5 times cycles.…”

“…Conversely, in non-aqueous media, lipases can use other nucleophiles, such as methanol, to catalyse esterification and transesterification reactions [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] , although the explicit removal of water is not often a priority. Typically, enzyme reactions performed in organic solvents still contain a hydration layer at the surface of the protein, and the pervasiveness of the solvent in these examples highlights the requirement for a substrate delivery medium [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] .…”

There have also been reports of lipase catalysis where the reaction proceeds with solvent quantities of one of the reagents 3,12,13 , where the lipases are typically present as either a lyophilized powder 12,13,26 , or immobilized on a substrate 2,3,8,10,27,28 , but there are no examples of molecularly dispersed enzymes catalysing reactions in the complete absence of a solvent.…”

“…Nonaqueous systems (organic solvents such as n-hexane) were examined to improve the ester yield and to simplify the isolation and purification steps. Also immobilized lipase mediated transesterification was tired to produce flavor esters (Garlapati and Banerjee, 2013).…”
