Abstract

Free fatty acids are used in many cases for the production of soaps, candles and assist processing of rubber products, but we believe that new process technology should be developed to produce products with higher added value. Monoacylglycerols (MAGs) are nonionic surfactant, highly hydrophobic and has been used as controlled release systems for drugs. The results presented here for the lipase-catalyzed MAG production show that ...
