Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymatic alcoholysis for biodiesel fuel production and application of the reaction to oil processing
TL;DR: In this paper, a stepwise methanolysis system with immobilized Candida antarctica lipase was developed for the production of biodiesel fuel from waste oil, where the first-step reaction was conducted in the presence of 1/3 molar equivalent of MeOH for the stoichiometric amount.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of vegetable oil to biodiesel using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase
Yuji Shimada,Yomi Watanabe,Taichi Samukawa,Akio Sugihara,Hideo Noda,Hideki Fukuda,Yoshio Tominaga +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors attempted continuous methanolysis of vegetable oil by an enzymatic process, which was conducted by adding methanol stepwise to avoid lipase inactivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous production of biodiesel fuel from vegetable oil using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase
TL;DR: A three-step methanolysis was developed by which over 95% of the oil triacylglycerols (TAG) were converted to their corresponding methyl esters (ME) by Candida antarctica lipase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of degummed soybean oil to biodiesel fuel with immobilized Candida antarctica lipase
TL;DR: In this paper, the main components of soybean gum are phospholipids (PLs) and they were found to be one of the inhibitory substances in methanolysis of TAGs, which may be due to interference of the interaction of the lipase molecule with substrates by PLs bound on immobilized preparation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and Characterization of a Novel Thermostable Lipase from Bacillus sp.
TL;DR: The addition of acetone to the assay mixture in the range of 0-60% (v/v) stimulated the enzyme remarkably, whereas n-hexane had an inhibitory effect.
