Abstract

The substrate/lipase ratio as well as pH of the buffer medium played important roles in the resolution of geometrical isomeric mixture of geraniol–nerol. Based on the results, an immobilized lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens (PFL) was found effective in selective transesterifications whereas Pseudomonas sp. Lipase (PSL) was found to be useful in hydrolyzing the esters.
