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

Figure 2

(a) Effect of Wo on pentyl valerate synthesis. Reaction system consisted of AOT/isooctane organogels prepared using varying Wo values and 5 mg/mL of reverse micelles lipase solution. (b) Effect of enzyme concentration on ester synthesis. MBGs containing lipase (10–100 mg/mL) of the combination AOT/isooctane at 60 were prepared. Esterification was carried out at 37°C and 150 rpm in cyclohexane.
