Summary: | [Display omitted]
► New tetraethylammonium amino acids ILs were used as a modifier with Candida rugosa lipase to produce two new biocatalysts (ILs-CRL). ► The activity of ILs-CRL was determined through esterification of oleyl alcohol with different fatty acids. ► The ILs-CRL system showed higher activity on short, medium and long chain fatty acids compared to native CRL. ► Hydrophilicity of ILs may play an important role to stabilize the ILs-CRL.
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 equivalent protein concentration as in CRL showed higher esterification activity especially on medium chain fatty acids (C12–C16) as compared to non-coated CRL. Hydrophilicity of ILs may play an important role in hydrogen bonding with enzyme surface and consequently stabilize the ILs-CRL. |
