Biocatalytic Synthesis of Flavor Ester “Pentyl Valerate” Using Candida rugosa Lipase Immobilized in Microemulsion Based Organogels: Effect of Parameters and Reusability

Figure 3

(a) Effect of organic solvents as medium on pentyl valerate synthesis. The reaction system comprised AOT/isooctane organogels (pH 7, = 60, enzyme concentration of 70 mg/mL) in isooctane, n-heptane, n-hexane, and cyclohexane at 37°C and 150 rpm. (b) Effect of reaction temperature on pentyl valerate synthesis. The reaction system comprised AOT/isooctane organogels (pH 7, = 60, enzyme concentration of 70 mg/mL) in cyclohexane.
