G. published the artcile< Enzymatic synthesis of biolubricants from by-product of soybean oil processing catalyzed by different biocatalysts of Candida rugosa lipase>, COA of Formula: C19H34O2, the main research area is lipase synthesis biolubricant soybean oil distillate.
The present work studied the synthesis of biolubricants from byproducts of soybean oil processing using the lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL) both in free and immobilized forms, as biocatalysts. Soybean fatty acid distillate (SFAD) was used for first time as source of free fatty acids (FFA) to produce biolubricants via their enzymic esterification with neopentyl glycol (NPG) and trimethylolpropane (TMP) alcs. in a solvent-free medium. The immobilization of CRL was performed via interfacial activation using a com. hydrophobic support (Accurel) and a home-made core-shell matrix of poly(Me methacrylate) (PMMA). Conversions of about 80% were obtained using lyophilized CRL after 30 or 180 min using NPG and TMP, resp. When CRL-PMMA/PMMA was used to catalyze the synthesis of NPG esters, 90% conversion was achieved after only 6 h, while CRL-Accurel were more active using TMP. The biocatalysts maintained the reaction conversion during eight batches of 24 h. The lubricant properties of the products were also characterized, showing that it can be an environmentally friendly alternative for petrol lubricants.
