Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel production from triolein and short chain alcohols through biocatalysis.
TL;DR: A mixture of linear and branched short chain alcohols that mimics the residual of ethanol distillation (fusel oil) was successfully used for oleic acid ester synthesis, which are important in biodiesel mixtures since they improve low temperature properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements and Theoretical Interpretation of Points of Zero Charge/Potential of BSA Protein
Andrea Salis,Mathias Boström,Mathias Boström,Luca Medda,Francesca Cugia,Brajesh Barse,Drew F. Parsons,Barry W. Ninham,Maura Monduzzi +8 more
TL;DR: The use of a modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation for a simple model system (a charge regulated spherical colloidal particle in NaCl salt solutions), that includes these ion specific interactions, allows the opposite trends observed for isoelectric point and isoionic point of BSA to be explained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Addition of hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds of biological relevance to the monoolein/water system. I. Phase behavior.
TL;DR: The solubilization of hydrophilic and lipophilic molecules, with biological relevance, in the monoolein/water (MO/W) system has been investigated for phase behavior, and a cubic-to-reverse hexagonal phase transition has been observed with time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical and Chemical Adsorption of Mucor javanicus Lipase on SBA-15 Mesoporous Silica. Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and Activity Performance
Andrea Salis,Daniela Meloni,Stefania Ligas,Maria Francesca Casula,Maura Monduzzi,Vincenzo Solinas,Emil Dumitriu +6 more
TL;DR: In this work a sample of SBA-15 mesoporous silica was synthesized and characterized by TEM, XRD, and N2 adsorption, and the reduction of the size of the channels due the immobilization process has been suggested as a possible explanation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison among immobilised lipases on macroporous polypropylene toward biodiesel synthesis
TL;DR: Eight commercial lipases were characterised (protein content and specific activity) and immobilised on macroporous polypropylene via physical adsorption and showed a different level of adaptation to the support as determined by the comparison of their catalytic efficiencies.
