Description
Summary:Trabajo presentado en el 7th International Congress on Biocatalysis, celebrado en Hamburgo (Alemania) del 31 de agosto al 04 de septiembre de 2014. It is well established that the performance of lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB) as catalyst for esterification reactions may be improved by the use of ultrasound technology or by its immobilization on styrene-divinylbenzene beads (MCI-CALB). The present research evaluated the synthesis of butyl acetate using MCI-CALB under ultrasonic energy, comparing the results against those obtained using the commercial preparation, Novozym 435.
