Enzymatic synthesis of epoxy fatty acid starch ester in ionic liquid–organic solvent mixture from vernonia oil

Abstract: In this study, epoxy fatty acid esters of cassava starch were synthesized by reacting cassava starch with vernonia oil methyl ester (epoxy ester) using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [C 4 C 1 Im][PF 6 ] ionic liquid (IL) as a reaction medium and DMSO as co-solvent. Lipase Candida antarctica fraction B (Novozyme 435) was used as a catalyst for the esterification reaction. In the optimized reaction conditions, a degree of substitution (DS) of 0.95 was achieved, at a reaction temperature of 40°C… Show more

“…The use of renewable raw materials in the chemicals industry for non-fuel applications offers enormous opportunity to establish a more sustainable development profile, enabling society to meet the needs of current and future generations whilst minimizing future environmental degradation [1]. Recently, plant oils and naturally occurring triglycerides of fatty acids, are being studied as potential sources of renewable feedstocks for the oleochemical industry [2].…”

“…Lipase catalyzed enzymatic esterification of starch is an eco‐friendly process without producing chemical wastes . Moreover, the high selectivity (chiral, positional, and functional) of lipases is advantageous because it minimizes side reactions and allows easier separation of the products . There are reports available on synthesis of starch esters by commercial lipases from Burkholderia cepacia , Pseudomonas sp., Candida rugosa , Thermomyces lanuginosus , C. antartica , and porcine pancreas .…”
