“…Lipase biotransformations have significant application, and this is reflected in the ionic liquid field by a substantial literature (Itoh et al, 2002; Zhao et al, 2010a, 2018; Latif et al, 2014; Kim et al, 2016; Carvalho et al, 2018; Itoh, 2018; Lisboa et al, 2018; Park et al, 2018; Zhong et al, 2018). As such, lipase-catalyzed biotransformations have been the topic of recent reviews, covering enantioselective transesterification, biofuel production and polymer synthesis in ionic liquids (Itoh, 2017a; Elgharbawy et al, 2018), and ionic liquid-mediated activation of lipase-catalyzed reactions (Itoh, 2018).…”
