Lipase in biodiesel production

Abstract: Although fossil fuels have been serving mankind for several centuries, their exploration and use bring about several environmental problems. Besides, fossil fuels are neither renewable nor sustainable. There is therefore a need to search for renewable alternatives which are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Biodiesel, chemically known as methyl ester, is a renewable and sustainable biofuel used to run diesel engines and it is mainly produced by transesterification through either chemical or enzymatic c… Show more

“…FAAE yields of 62.17, 59.68, 73.11, 83.64 and 83.68 % when methanol, ethanol, propanol, 1-butanol, and 2-butanol were applied in the reaction, respectively (Figure 2). The FAAE increased with increasing length of the carbon chain of the alcohols [32]. The maximum FAAE yield of 86.80 % was obtained, when iso-butanol was used in the reaction.…”

“…Lipase enzymes are used in the process of transesterification and esterification due to economic and environmental reasons. This is because lipases have the ability to use monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides as well as free fatty acids [12].…”
