The enzymatic synthesis of ethyl oleate by direct esterification of oleic acid and ethanol in solvent-free media has been studied. Native lipase from Candida antarctica B and Candida antarctica B lipase adsorbed on powdered polypropylene were used with promising results. The influence of different p...
