Synthesis of glycerides and esters by fungal cell-bound enzymes in continuous reactor systems

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The synthesis of glycerides and fatty esters using the cell-bound lipolytic enzymes of fungal mycelia is described. Use of organic solvents for substrate solution and a solid-phase enzyme system enable high conversions to be obtained continuously in packed bed and stirred tank reactors.
