Enzymatic Synthesis of Isopropyl Acetate by Immobilized   Bacillus cereus Lipase in Organic Medium

Figure 4

Effect of solvents (n-alkanes) on the synthesis of isopropyl acetate. using silica bound lipase. The reaction mixture containing 100 mM isopropanol and 75 mM acetic acid and silica-bound biocatalyst in stated n-alkanes was incubated at 55°C temperature under shaking for 9 h.
