Abstract

Enzymatic production of fatty acid esters from the esterification of oleyl alcohol with various fatty acids was investigated by using two new tetraethylammonium amino acid ionic liquids- coated Candida rugosa lipase (ILs-CRL) as biocatalysts in hexane. Both enzyme derivatives were prepared by mixing Candida rugosa lipase with tetraethylammonium l-histidinate (IL1) and tetraethylammonium l-asparaginate (IL2). The ILs-CRL system containing the ...
