Summary: | This is the author’s version of a work that was accepted for publication in Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic. Changes resulting from the publishing process, such as peer review, editing, corrections, structural formatting, and other quality control mechanisms may not be reflected in this document. Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication. A definitive version was subsequently published in Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic, 64, (2010) DOI 10.1016/j.molcatb.2010.02.010 Lipase-catalyzed ethanolysis of two short-chain triradylglycerols, namely tributyrin and 2,3-dibutyroil- 1-O-alkylglycerols, have been studied. Much faster rate of reaction for the ethanolysis of tributyrin than that of 2,3-dibutyroil-1-O-alkylglycerols was attained. A kinetic model for the rate of release of ethyl butyrate and for the inactivation of the lipase has been also studied. The parameter corresponding to the release of ethyl butyrate was one order of magnitude higher for ethanolysis of tributyrin than the corresponding of 2,3-dibutyroil-1-O-alkylglycerols. On the contrary, the stability of Novozym 435 during ethanolysis of 2,3-dibutyroil-1-O-alkylglycerols was higher than the corresponding of tributyrin. At the reaction conditions under study, both ethanolysis reactions take place with high selectivity and yield monoesterified alkylglycerols and sn-2 monobutyrin as the main acylglycerols in the reaction mixtures.
