TLDR
The immobilized lipase PS proved to be stable and lost little activity when was subjected to repeated uses and was consistently more active than the free enzyme in transesterification of soybean oil with methanol and ethanol.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Progress and recent trends in biodiesel fuels
TL;DR: The most important variables affecting methyl ester yield during the transesterification reaction are the molar ratio of alcohol to vegetable oil and the reaction temperature as discussed by the authors, which is the commonly used alcohol in this process, due to its low cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
Industrial applications of microbial lipases
TL;DR: Various industrial applications of microbial lipases in the detergent, food, flavour industry, biocatalytic resolution of pharmaceuticals, esters and amino acid derivatives, making of fine chemicals, agrochemicals, use as biosensor, bioremediation and cosmetics and perfumery are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetically recoverable nanocatalysts.
TL;DR: This Review concludes with a conclusion that further research is needed into the determinants of infectious disease and the immune system in order to treat these diseases and provide effective treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel production from vegetable oils via catalytic and non-catalytic supercritical methanol transesterification methods
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the production and characterization of biodiesel (BD or B) as well as the experimental work carried out by many researchers in this field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel production--current state of the art and challenges.
TL;DR: Different biodiesel sources (edible and nonedible), virgin oil versus waste oil, algae-based biodiesel that is gaining increasing importance, role of different catalysts including enzyme catalysts, and the current state-of-the-art in biodiesel production are examined.

Kinetics of transesterification of soybean oil
Hossein Noureddini,D Zhu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of mixing intensity (Reynolds number = 3,100 to 12,400) and temperature (30 to 70°C) on the rate of reaction were studied while the molar ratio of alcohol to triglycerol (6:1) and the concentration of catalyst (0.20 wt% based on soybean oil) were held constant.

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
Lipase-catalyzed production of biodiesel
TL;DR: Conditions were established for converting tallow to short-chain alkyl esters at more than 90% conversion and these same conditions also proved effective for transesterfying vegetable oils and high fatty acid-containing feedstocks to their respective alKYl ester derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioreactors with immobilized lipases: state of the art.
TL;DR: This review attempts to provide an updated compilation of studies reported in the literature pertaining to reactors containing lipases in immobilized forms, in a way that helps the reader direct a bibliographic search and develop an integrated perspective of the subject.
