Different solvents were compared as organic media for conversion of lactate and ethanol into EL, catalyzed by Novozym 435. Chloroform and hexane were the most effective in low acid concentrations (0.01–0.1 M) exhibiting maximum EL yields of 88% and 75% respectively. The yield of EL improved as the solvent’s Log P increased up to a value of 2. Non-commercial immobilized biocatalysts consisting heterologous Rhizopous oryzae (rROL) and Candida rugosa (CRL) lipases immobilized on hydrophobic supports were compared to commercial biocatalysts clarifying that Novozym 435 and Lipozyme RM IM could be efficiently applied. Operational stability tests were conducted using Novozym 435, which retained higher activity in chloroform as compared to hexane. Although non-commercial biocatalysts were not competitive in esterification, they exhibited significant activity towards hydrolysis constituting a valuable alternative to higher-cost options. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/11014 | ISSN: | 09608524 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.biortech.2017.09.130 | Rights: | © Elsevier | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology Escola Superior de Tecnologia do Barreiro Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona University of Lisbon |
