“…The classes of reactions studied most extensively in SCF solvents, however, have been esterification, interesterification, and transesterification reactions catalyzed by lipases. This extensive research into these systems has identified and elucidated the effects of many of the important variables, such as pressure (Miller et al, 1990(Miller et al, , 1991Erickson et al, 1990;Ikushima et al, 1993). Reaction rates in SC CO, and in organic solvents (typically hexane) have been compared (Martins et al, 1991;Bolz et al, 1991;Marty et al, 1990Marty et al, , 1992aKamat et al, 1992Kamat et al, , 1993Chi et al, 1988;Pasta et al, 1989).…”
