Summary: | Lipases are the more usable enzymes for this purpose, due to the ability to recognize a wide variety of substrates and catalyze a high number of reactions. In this context, the objective of the present study using Lipase B from Candida antarctica B to ethyl oleate ethyl synthesis solvent-free in function of the studied variables, mass catalyst free and temperature. A maximum conversion of ethyl oleate was observed with 56% of conversion after 40 minutes of reaction time. The oleate esters of ethyl were reported for having applications interesting in various industrial fields, such as, food, aromatic products, cosmetics, detergents, flavorings and pharmaceuticals.
