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 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
Enzymatic conversion of waste edible oil to biodiesel fuel in a fixed-bed bioreactor
TL;DR: The conversion of waste edible oil to biodiesel fuel in a fixed-bed bioreactor was investigated and methanolysis of waste oil was conducted using three columns packed with 3 g of immobilized Candida antarctica lipase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enrichment of polyunsaturated fatty acids withGeotrichum candidum lipase
TL;DR: Geotrichum candidum lipase was found to be suitable for their concentration in glycerides as discussed by the authors, and was used to extract polyunsaturated fatty acids in good yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
