Opportunities for improving biodiesel production via lipase catalysis
Francisco Thálysson Tavares Cavalcante,Francisco Simao Neto,Italo Rafael de Aguiar Falcão,José Erick da Silva Souza,Lourembergue Saraiva de Moura Junior,Patrick da Silva Sousa,Thales Guimaraes Rocha,Isamayra Germano de Sousa,Pedro Henrique de Lima Gomes,Maria Cristiane Martins de Souza,José C. S. dos Santos,José C. S. dos Santos +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight several aspects of lipase-catalyzed biodiesel production and discuss the possible solutions to circumvent the well-known problems inherent in these systems, such as the low-stability and the pricing of biocatalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Francisco Thálysson Tavares Cavalcante,Italo Rafael de Aguiar Falcão,José Erick da Silva Souza,Thales Guimaraes Rocha,Isamayra Germano de Sousa,Antônio Luthierre Gama Cavalcante,André L. B. de Oliveira,Maria C. M. de Sousa,José C. S. dos Santos +8 more
TL;DR: To provide detailed insights into the state of the art of this technology, all the relevant concepts around the topic are discussed, including the properties of enzymes, the mechanisms involved in their immobilization, and the application of different enzyme-derived biosensors and nanomaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipase Cocktail for Optimized Biodiesel Production of Free Fatty Acids from Residual Chicken Oil
Thales Guimaraes Rocha,Pedro Henrique de Lima Gomes,Maria Cristiane Martins de Souza,Rodolpho R. C. Monteiro,José C. S. dos Santos,José C. S. dos Santos +5 more
TL;DR: In this work, the combination of different lipases was employed for the production of biodiesel, using the Free Fatty Acids from Residual Chicken Oil (RCO) as a substrate and the Taguchi method was used to optimize the esterification reaction parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sonohydrolysis using an enzymatic cocktail in the preparation of free fatty acid
José Erick da Silva Souza,Rodolpho R. C. Monteiro,Thales Guimaraes Rocha,Katerine da Silva Moreira,Francisco Thálysson Tavares Cavalcante,Ana Kátia de Sousa Braz,Maria Cristiane Martins de Souza,José C. S. dos Santos +7 more
TL;DR: Under ultrasound irradiation, the concept of lipase cocktail was successfully applied, and this strategy could be useful for the other types of reactions using heterogeneous substrates.
