Biocatalytic Synthesis of Flavor Ester “Pentyl Valerate” Using Candida rugosa Lipase Immobilized in Microemulsion Based Organogels: Effect of Parameters and Reusability
Figure 6
Operational stability of the MBGs. (a) Graph showing number of reusability runs. The organogels were given solvent washes after every run and reused for pentyl valerate synthesis at 37°C and 150 rpm. Down arrows indicate AOT/isooctane treatment given to the organogels for extraction of accumulated water formed as by-product of esterification reaction. (b) TGA weight loss curves for fresh (blue curve), reused (red curve), and reused and treated with 1 M AOT/isooctane (black curve).
