Catalyzed Ester Synthesis Using Candida rugosa Lipase Entrapped by Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-itaconic Acid) Hydrogel
Figure 8
n-amyl isobutyrate formation by Candida rugosa lipase immobilized onto P(NiPAAm/IA) hydrogel (a) as function of time and (b) in repeated cycles at 45°C stirred at 150 rpm. Concentrations of isobutyric acid and n-amyl alcohol were 0.25 M; reactions were performed in n-hexane at fixed substrate molar ratio of 1.0.
