Candida antarctica Lipase B was successfully immobilized on magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles functionalized with chitosan and glutaraldehyde. The obtained magnetic catalyst was characterized and its performance was evaluated in solvent-free synthesis of ethyl oleate at room temperature. The performan...
