Lipase-catalyzed transesterification of 1-O-octadecyl glycerol (batyl alcohol) with ethyl butyrate has been studied. The effect of vacuum on the rate of both transesterification and distillation of ethyl butyrate has also been investigated and at different reaction conditions, more than 85% of 1-O-octadecyl glycerol was consumed in only 5 min giving rise to the monoester. Then the monoester is again acylated to produce the diesterified product. In addition, the transesterification reactions were effected in solvent free reaction medium and it has been scaled-up to produce up to ca. 500 g of 2,3-dibutyroil-1-O-alkylglycerols in three consecutive cycles reutilizing the same batch of lipase. An efficient evaporation of ethanol was necessary to significantly reduce the reaction times of the transesterification reaction. Finally, a kinetics model describing both the rate of transesterification and the rate of inactivation of the immobilized lipase has been developed. The results indicate that the operational stability of the immobilized lipase confined into the mesh baskets (according to the value of kd attained), was very high and that provides a half-life of the lipase higher than 1500 h.The present procedure is intended to be used for the synthesis of homogeneous alkylglycerols with biological activities and/or precursors of structured alkylglycerols.  相似文献

A catalyst-free biodiesel production method with supercritical methanol has been developed that allows a simple process and high yield because of simultaneous transesterification of triglycerides and methyl esterification of fatty acids. From these lines of evidence, we expected that similar results would be attained with the use of various alcohols by the supercritical treatment. However, it still remains unclear which type of reaction, transesterification or alkyl esterification, is faster. This parameter would be important in designing the optimum reaction conditions of the supercritical alcohol method. Therefore, we studied the effect of transesterification of triglycerides and esterification of fatty acids in rapeseed oil. Reaction temperature was set at 300 degrees C, and methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol or 1-octanol was used as the reactant. The results showed that transesterification of triglycerides (rapeseed oil) was slower in reaction rates than alkyl esterification of fatty acids for any of the alcohols employed. Furthermore, saturated fatty acids such as palmitic and stearic acids had slightly lower reactivity than that of the unsaturated fatty acids; oleic, linoleic and linolenic.  相似文献

A new on-line, rapid and sensitive column-switch LC/MS/MS method to measure nelfinavir (NFV), an HIV-1 protease inhibitor, and its major metabolite (M1) in rat plasma was developed. Rat plasma containing the analytes and the internal standard was treated with acetonitrile and the supernatant was processed through an on-line extraction and an analytical columns, with a column-switch device. ESI-LC/MS with multiple reaction monitors for appropriate analytes was performed. This assay gave a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of <1 ng/mL for the analytes with 5 min run time. The within-run and between-run precisions were <12 and <10%, respectively. This analytical method was successfully applied to a study to correlate changes in maternal and placental NFV plasma concentrations in rats following NFV exposure in utero.  相似文献

This study illustrates the benefits of Celite® supported lipase sol–gels for the transesterification of triolein to produce methyl oleate. A ping–pong bi–bi kinetic model was developed and validated taking into account the inhibition effects of methanol and glycerol as well as the effect of temperature. Although initial reaction rate models are useful for predicting the kinetics in the absence of products, a kinetic model beyond the initial conditions that considers glycerol inhibition is important. The model developed was consistent with the experimental data (R2 = 0.95) predicting an increase in methyl oleate production with increasing methanol concentration up to an optimal range of 1.3 M to 2.0 M depending on the temperature. In general, increasing the temperature increased the initial reaction rate for the immobilized lipase over the temperature range of 40–60 °C. Based on the kinetic constants, the maximum velocity of the reverse reaction is about 25% slower than that of the forward reaction and glycerol inhibition has a more significant effect on the reaction kinetics than methanol inhibition. The model developed would be useful for understanding the effects of methanol and glycerol inhibition as well as temperature on the production of methyl oleate using lipase-mediated enzymatic transesterification.  相似文献

Summary Subtilisin from Bacillus subtilis was modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG), or adsorbed either on celite or porous glass, or directly used as a suspended powder to catalyse peptide synthesis and transesterification reactions in organic solvents. The rather low yield of peptide synthesis probably resulted from the enzyme tendency to catalyse hydrolysis and transesterification side reactions. The kinetics of transesterification catalysed by PEG-subtilisin was consistent with a ping-pong mechanism modified by a hydrolytic branch. Initial rates of transesterification were found to be dependent on alcohol and organic base concentrations in the reaction mixture. The high affinity of benzyloxycarbonyl-l-serine-methyl ester for the enzyme indicated that a change in substrate specificity of subtilisin occurred in organic phase. The 50-fold increase in the rate of synthesis of benzyloxycarbonyl-l-serine-l-phenylalanine amide which was observed when PEG-subtilisin was used instead of immobilized or powdered enzyme, suggested that a higher flexibility of the polypeptide chain modified by the covalent attachment of a number of soluble PEG moieties occurred in organic solvents. This also resulted in a lower stability of PEG-subtilisin at high temperature.Offprint requests to: A. Puigserver  相似文献

A novel microsome-encapsulation technique using the sol-gel method was developed for the on-line drug-metabolism analytical system integrated into capillary electrophoresis. This analytical system allows both the metabolism of drugs and the determination of the metabolites in a single capillary simultaneously. Microsomes isolated from rat liver were encapsulated in tetramethoxysilane-based silica matrices within a capillary in a single step under mild conditions. The availability of this system was evaluated using UDP-glucuronyltransferase, which is one of the most important microsomal enzymes. 4-Nitrophenol and testosterone, which were metabolized by the different isoforms of UDP-glucuronyltransferase, were used as substrates. The resultant monolithic reactor showed enzymatic activity at the same level as that of the soluble form. The following separation of the unreacted substrates and metabolites in the same capillary also showed high selectivity. Furthermore, the sample amount required for one analysis decreased more than 3 orders of magnitude from conventional reaction schemes in free solution. This on-line system could largely simplify the laborious procedures which were needed in conventional analytical schemes.  相似文献

A low-intensity ultrasonic measurement system was used to monitor the products of transesterification of soybean oil in methanol to FAME (biodiesel). The byproducts of the transesterification reaction are methyl esters, glycerol and other products. During the transesterification reaction, the glycerol, having a higher density than the methyl ester, settles at the bottom of the reaction vessel. The aim of this study was to measure the glycerol deposition rate during transesterification and to assess the reaction rate and end time. Soybean oil was converted into biodiesel at four temperature levels. The amount of catalyst (KOH) used in the transesterification reactions was determined by titration. The ultrasonic waveforms captured during the reaction were recorded and analyzed automatically. The ultrasonic system monitored the effects of reaction temperatures on the glycerol settling rate and the reaction end times. The ultrasonic measurement of glycerol settling would be a useful non-destructive method for evaluating the effects of parameters such as catalyst amount, mixing time and temperature on transesterification reactions.  相似文献

Summary A simple method to overcome low equilibrium conversion in lipase catalysed resolution of alcohols by transesterification was developed. Ethyl octanoate was used as acyl donor as well as solvent and the reaction equilibrium was shifted by applying reduced pressure, forcing the co-product ethanol to evaporate during the reaction. Using a lipase fromCandida antarctica 2-octanol, 1-phenyl ethanol, 1-cyclohexyl ethanol andtrans-2-methylcyclohexanol were resolved in good optical and chemical yields.  相似文献

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines produced through transesterification of oleaginous feedstocks. To analyze the influence of the fatty-acid composition on biodiesel optimization, transesterification of several vegetable oils has been studied. Reactions were carried out in flasks filled with vegetable oils, heated to the reaction temperature and stirred at 1100 rpm. The reactions started when the methanol and potassium hydroxide solutions were added to the flasks. Concentration of catalyst, amount of methanol, reaction temperature and time were optimized using a factorial design and a surface response design. Also, a kinetics study was carried out to optimize the reaction time. Results showed that reaction parameters optimal values depend on the oil chemical and physical properties. It can be concluded from this field trial that the effect of both catalyst concentration and reaction time over the transesterification yield is greatly influenced by the saturation degree and fatty-acid chain length.  相似文献

Real-time conversion estimation through macroscopic balancing was investigated for enzymatic esterification reactions in a solvent-free system. In principle, the conversion of ester synthesis can be determined from the amount of water produced by the reaction because water is formed as a by-product in the same molar ratio as the product. In this study, we show that the water production rate, and thereby the reaction conversion, can be estimated on-line from measurements of the relative humidity of the inlet and outlet air and the material balances of water in the system. In order to test the performance of the real-time conversion estimation method, the lipase-catalyzed esterification reaction of n-capric acid and n-decyl alcohol in solvent-free media was conducted while controlling the water activity at various values. When the reaction conversions estimated on-line were compared with those analyzed off-line by gas chromatography, good agreement was obtained: the average mean absolute error was +/- 2.4% of the reaction conversion despite the simplicity of the method. The on-line estimation method presented here requires no expensive or complicated analytical instruments and no sampling of reaction medium. It can be used for monitoring nonaqueous enzymatic reactions where water is produced or consumed during reaction.  相似文献

On-line conversion estimation of enzymatic esterification reactions in solvent-free media was investigated. In principle, conversion to ester can be determined from the amount of water produced by the reaction, because water is formed as a by-product in a stoichiometric manner. In this study, we estimated the water production rate only from some measurements of relative humidity and water balances without using any analytical methods. In order to test the performance of the on-line conversion estimation, the lipase-catalyzed esterification ofn-capric acid andn-decyl alcohol in solvent-free media was performed whilst controlling water activity at various values. The reaction conversions estimated on-line were similar to those determined by offline gas chromatographic analysis. However, when the water activity was controlled at higher values, discrepancies between the estimated conversion values and the measured values became significant. The deviation was found to be due to the inaccurate measurement of the water content in the reaction medium during the initial stages of the reaction. Using a digital filter, we were able to improve the accuracy of the on-line conversion estimation method considerably. Despite the simplicity of this method, the on-line estimated conversions were in good agreement with the off-line measured values.  相似文献

A lipase from Candida sp., suitable for transesterification of fats and oils to produce fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), was immobilized on a cheap cotton membrane, in this paper. The conversion ratio of salad oil to biodiesel could reach up to 96% with the optimal reaction conditions. Continuous reaction in a fixed bed reactor was also investigated. A three-step transesterification with methanol (methanolysis) of oil was conducted by using a series of nine columns packed with immobilized Candida sp. 99–125 lipase. As substrate of the first reaction step, plant or waste oil was used together with 1/3 molar equivalent of methanol against total fatty acids in the oil. Mixtures of the first- and second-step eluates and 1/3 molar equivalent of methanol were used for the second- and third-reaction steps. A hydrocyclone was used in order to on-line separate the by-product glycerol after every 1/3 molar equivalent of methanol was added. Petroleum ether was used as solvent (3/2, v/v of oil) and the pump was operated with a flow rate of 15 L/h giving an annual throughput of 100 t. The final conversion ratio of the FAME from plant oil and waste oil under the optimal condition was 90% and 92%, respectively. The life of the immobilized lipase was more than 10 days. This new technique has many strongpoints such as low pollution, environmentally friendly, and low energy costs.  相似文献

Transesterification is a principal chemical reaction that occurs in biodiesel production. We developed a novel biocatalytic membrane microreactor (BMM) for continuous transesterification by utilizing an asymmetric membrane as an enzyme-carrier for immobilization. The BMM was developed by pressure driven filtration of lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens, which is suitable for highly efficient biocatalytic transesterification. Lipase solution was allowed to permeate through an asymmetric membrane with NMWL 300 kDa composed of polyethersulfone. The performances of BMM were studied in biodiesel synthesis via transesterification of triolein with methanol. Transesterification was carried out by passing a solution of triolein and methanol through the asymmetric membrane. The degree of triolein conversion using this microreactor was ca. 80% with a reaction time of 19 min. The BMM system displayed good stability, with no activity decay over a period of 12 day with continuous operation. Results from triolein transesterification clearly demonstrate the potential of an asymmetric membrane as an enzyme carrier material. Enzyme activity (mmol/h·glipase) was approximately 3 fold higher than that of native free lipase.  相似文献

Biodiesel, chemically defined as monoalkyl esters of long chain fatty acids, are derived from renewable feed stocks like vegetable oils and animal fats. It is produced by both batch and continuous transesterification processes in which, oil or fat is reacted with a monohydric alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. The conventional method of producing biodiesel involves acid and base catalysts to form fatty acid alkyl esters. Downstream processing costs and environmental problems associated with biodiesel production and byproducts recovery have led to the search for alternative production methods and alternative substrates. Enzymatic reactions involving lipases can be an excellent alternative to produce biodiesel through a process commonly referred to as alcoholysis, a form of transesterification reaction or through an interesterification reaction. In order to increase the cost effectiveness of the process, the enzymes are immobilized using a suitable matrix. The use of immobilized lipases and whole cells may lower the overall cost, while presenting less downstream processing problems. Main focus of this paper is to discuss the important parameters that affect the biodiesel yield, various immobilization techniques employed, mechanisms and kinetics of transesterification reaction and the recent advances in continuous transesterification processes.  相似文献

A method has been developed for fast evaluation of transesterification activity of immobilized lipases using microlitre and submicrolitre volumes of substrate solutions. The model reaction (acylation of isopropanol with vinyl acetate) is catalyzed by microbial lipases immobilized on ceramic particles, diatoms or acrylic resin, packed into a Teflon tube connected to fused-silica capillary tubing. The substrate solution is pumped through the microreactor and the product of transesterification, acetaldehyde, quantified on capillary by UV absorbance at 280 nm. Using this system in the continuous-flow mode, comparisons were made of transesterification catalysed by PS-C II lipase in two different solvent mixtures. Acetonitrile was found to be a compatible solvent that can be used as a solubilizer without suppressing enzymatic activity. The method has been used to compare conversions at a fixed flow rate using a single pass of substrate through packed beds containing approximately 0.2 mg of supported enzyme. Spatial distributions of the product have been visualized using a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) imaging detector in conjunction with the microreactor system operated in the stopped-flow mode.  相似文献

The effect of different extraction techniques on the recovery of fatty acids from freeze-dried biomass of two lipid-producing microheterotrophs was examined. Two procedures were used: the extraction of lipids from biomass followed by transesterification of the fatty acids (extraction-transesterification); and the direct transesterification of biomass to produce fatty acid methyl esters (i.e. without the initial extraction step). Variable factors in the extraction-transesterification experiment were the sequence in which solvents were added to the samples, the relative amount of methanol in the solvent mix, and sonication of biomass while in the solvent mix. Variable factors in the direct transesterification experiment were sample size, and reaction duration. Statistical analysis of data (level of significance P<0.05) showed that: (1) extraction of total fatty acids prior to transesterification was significantly more efficient when solvents were added in the order of increasing polarity; (2) neither sonication nor increasing the proportion of methanol in the extraction solvent significantly affected extraction of fatty acids prior to transesterification; (3) efficiency of direct transesterification of fatty acids increased significantly with reaction time; (4) efficiency of direct transesterification of fatty acids was not significantly affected by sample size; (5) the most efficient method for extraction of fatty acids prior to transesterification yielded significantly less fatty acids than the most effective direct transesterification method. While the study examined only two strains, our results suggest that fatty acid analysis methodology for microheterotrophs under consideration for biotechnological exploitation requires optimisation and validation.  相似文献

A rapid, robust and selective on-line solid-phase extraction-liquid chromatographic method with ultra-violet detection (on-line SPE-LC-UV) for microsomal prostaglandin E(2) synthase-1 (mPGES-1) inhibitor screening was developed and validated. Disrupted A549 cells were used as mPGES-1 source and the formation of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) out of the substrate prostaglandin H(2) (PGH(2)) was determined at 195 nm. Direct on-line sample clean up was achieved by automated column switch (C18 trap column) prior isocratic separation using a C18 analytical column. The on-line SPE-LC-UV method was accurate, precise and reproducible in the range of 71-1763 ng/ml for PGE(2) and met the generally accepted criteria for bioanalytical methods. The method was successfully applied to determine the IC(50) value of the known mPGES-1 inhibitor NS-398.  相似文献

An automated screening method was developed for enzymatic transformations using a robotic system and rapid chiral supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) analysis with a run time of 1.5 min. The method accelerates the enzyme selection process for screening biocatalysts, where a large number of enzymes are evaluated for activity and enantioselectivity. Kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols by enzymatic transesterification was used as a prototype for method development. The rapid automated method can be used effectively for screening enzymes and optimizing reaction conditions in biocatalysis.  相似文献

Two modifications of the HPLC–ED method with respect to extraction procedure used have been developed for psilocin, the active metabolite of psilocybin, in human plasma using either liquid–liquid extraction (LLE) or automated on-line solid-phase extraction (on-line SPE). Each type of the sample preparation required a different HPLC system followed by electrochemical detection at 650 to 675 mV. The limit of quantitation of both modifications was 10 ng/ml psilocin. There was no significant difference observable between the LLE and the on-line SPE in terms of method standard deviation (LLE 1.82%, on-line SPE 1.13%) and the analytical results. However, the advantages of on-line SPE in addition to different selectivity were less manual effort, smaller plasma volumes of 400 μl (LLE 2 ml) and a recovery of psilocin in human plasma of nearly 100% (LLE 88%). In contrast to a previous procedure both methods were rapid, simple and reliable and yielded high plasma recoveries. They were used successfully in the quantitation of psilocin in plasma samples obtained from healthy volunteers after p.o. administration of 0.2 mg psilocybin per kg body mass. Plasma concentration curves and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated.  相似文献

An attractive approach to improving cold flow properties of biodiesel is to transesterify fatty acid methyl esters with higher alcohols such as n-butanol or with branched alcohols such as isopropanol. In this study, the reaction kinetics of Amberlyst-15 catalyzed transesterification of methyl stearate, a model biodiesel compound, with n-butanol have been examined. After identifying conditions to minimize both internal and external mass transfer resistances, the effects of catalyst loading, temperature, and the mole ratio of n-butanol to methyl stearate in the transesterification reaction were investigated. Experimental data were fit to a pseudo-homogeneous, activity-based kinetic model with inclusion of etherification reactions to appropriately characterize the transesterification system.  相似文献
