Decylacetate synthesis by enzyme catalysis in SC-CO2
Oliveira, M.V.; Rebocho, Sílvia F.; Ribeiro, Adriano S.; Ferreira, Olga; Vidinha, Pedro; Barreiros, Susana; Macedo, Eugénia A.; Loureiro, José M.The main purpose of this work was the study of long chain esters production, using decyl acetate as model compound, by enzymatic catalysis in supercritical media, with the aim of developing a sustainable, clean and efficient process as an alternative to the traditional chemical processes. The combination of a sustainable and clean technology, as biocatalysis, with a green/natural solvent, as supercritical CO2, ...
Decyl acetate synthesis by enzyme catalysis in sc-CO2
Rebocho, Sílvia F.; Ribeiro, Adriano S.; Ferreira, Olga; Oliveira, Manuela V.; Vidinha, Pedro; Barreiros, Susana; Macedo, Eugénia A.; Loureiro, José M.The synthesis of decyl acetate, from the transesterification of vinyl acetate with decanol, was studied in a high-pressure experimental set-up, equipped with a variable volume batch reactor, operating isothermally at 35 ºC and 100 bar, using CO2 in supercritical conditions as solvent, and Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB), immobilized on the macroporous resin Lewatit B (Novozym 435®), as catalyst. The enzymati...
Production of esters by biocatalysed transesterification in supercritical CO2 a...
Ribeiro, Adriano S.; Rebocho, Sílvia F.; Ferreira, Olga; Vidinha, Pedro; Barreiros, Susana; Macedo, Eugénia A.; Loureiro, José M.The development of sustainable processes that use renewable raw materials and minimize chemical and energetic waste has attracted considerable attention and represents a great challenge to both academic researchers and industrial experts. The use of enzymes to catalyse chemical transformations can constitute a more sustainable alternative to some traditional chemical processes and more than 100 biotransformatio...
Cutinase activity in supercritical and organic media: water activity, solvation...
Garcia, Sílvia; Vidinha, Pedro; Arvana, Helena; Silva, Marco D.R. Gomes da; Ferreira, Olga; Cabral, Joaquim M.S.; Macedo, Eugénia A.; Harper, NeilWe performed a comparative study on the activity of Fusarium solani pisi cutinase immobilized on zeolites NaA and NaY, in n-hexane, acetonitrile, supercritical ethane (sc-ethane) and sc-CO2, at two different water activity (aW) values set by salt hydrate pairs in situ and at acid–base conditions fixed with solid-state buffers of aqueous pKa between 4.3 and 10.6. The reaction studied was the transesterification ...
