Influence Of Process Parameters On Farnesyl Laurate Production By Enzymatic Esterification In Packed-Bed Reactor

Enzymatic esterification using lipase has proven to be potential in the production of esters. In the present work, esterification reaction in organic solvent catalyzed by immobilized lipase was studied in batch and continuous packed-bed reactor system for the synthesis of farnesyl laurate. The optim...
