Biocatalytic Synthesis of Flavor Ester “Pentyl Valerate” Using Candida rugosa Lipase Immobilized in Microemulsion Based Organogels: Effect of Parameters and Reusability
Figure 1
(a) Effect of surfactant on pentyl valerate synthesis. Free enzyme and immobilized enzyme are represented by dotted and solid lines, respectively. The MBGs consisted of surfactant/isooctane/CRL (70 mg/mL), . (b) Effect of pH on pentyl valerate synthesis. CRL was dissolved in the buffers of pH 5, 6, 7, 8, and 8.8 and used for MBG preparation. Organogel system comprised AOT/isooctane, . The reaction was carried out at 37°C and 150 rpm in cyclohexane.
