Abstract:
:This paper reports a study of the enzymatic esterification of oleic acid and ethanol. The reaction was catalyzed by lipases produced by solid-state fermentation with Rhizopus sp. Olive oil and perlite were used as an inducer and inert support, respectively. Synthesis of ethyl oleate was carried out in a 10-mL batch reactor with magnetic stirring. The effects of substrate ratios, biocatalyst concentration, and temperature on the reaction rate and conversion efficiency were evaluated. The highest reaction rate (1.64 mmol/L min) was reached with an oleic acid/ethanol mol ratio of 1:5 (oleic acid 50 mM:ethanol 250 mM) and 1 g of biocatalyst. Conversions approaching 100% were obtained after 60 min of reaction at 45 degrees C with n-hexane as a solvent. The initial reaction rate increased proportionally with respect to biocatalyst concentration, which suggests that the reaction rate was not controlled by mass transfer. The biocatalyst retained more than 80% of its catalytic activity after 7 months of storage at 4 degrees C. The results demonstrate that the biocatalyst produced by Rhizopus sp. in solid-state fermentation can be successfully used for ethyl oleate synthesis over short reaction periods under conditions when ethanol is in excess.
