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

Figure 4

Dependence of initial reaction rate of ester synthesis on concentration of (a) valeric acid concentration (while keeping pentanol concentration constant at 100 mM) and (b) pentanol (while keeping valeric acid concentration constant at 100 mM). The reaction was carried out at 37°C and 150 rpm in cyclohexane as reaction medium.
