General Description

Pentyl oleate is an ester formed by the reaction of pentanol and oleic acid. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Pentyl oleate is commonly used as a lubricant and plasticizer in various industrial applications. It is also used in the production of cosmetics, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals as an emollient and moisturizing agent. Pentyl oleate is known for its ability to soften and smooth the skin, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products. Additionally, it can be used as a carrier for other active ingredients due to its non-greasy and lightweight nature. Overall, pentyl oleate is a versatile chemical compound with a wide range of uses in different industries.

Chemically Modified Lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus with Enhanced Esterification and Transesterification Activities

Lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus is one of the most explored enzymes for the esterification of several added-value industrial compounds, such as biodiesel, fragrances, and flavors. Its selectivity in these reactions is mostly related with its activity towards small alcohols. In this work, the impact of the chemical modification, with 4 dodecyl chains at its surface, was evaluated regarding its transesterification and esterification activities, comparing with the native form. Linear size-differentiated alcohols (from 1 to 20 carbons in the aliphatic chain) were used to explore for the first time the effect of the chain length in both transesterification and esterification reactions, using p-nitrophenyl palmitate and oleic acid as model compounds, respectively. The chemically modified lipase showed an outstanding improvement of its catalytic performance than the native enzyme, being this increase directly proportional to the size of the alcohols chain used as substrates. The enormous potential and remarkable versatility of this novel super catalyst was here demonstrated, where diverse types of esters, differing in their potential applications (biodiesel, cosmetics, fine chemistry), were efficiently synthesized. The produced esters were fully characterized by 1H NMR, GC-MS, and FTIR.

Melting points and viscosities of fatty acid esters that are potential targets for engineered oilseed

Our previous isolation of branched-chain fatty acid (BCFA) methyl esters from lanolin was improved and scaled up. Also, oleate esters of isopropanol, oleyl alcohol and normal alcohols of 1-12 carbons chain lengths were prepared. Esters were made by interesterification with sodium alcoholates and by esterification with Candida antarctica lipase. It proved easier to obtain pure esters by the enzymatic synthesis. Melting points and viscosities over the range of 0-70 °C were determined in order to better identify potential lubricant targets that might be produced by genetically modified oilseed crops. Isopropyl and butyl oleate have melting points of -33 and -32 °C, respectively and viscosities that range from ~17 cp (0 °C) to ~2.5 cp (70 °C). They should have suitable stability for lubricants. BCFA esters had viscosities similar to their straight chain analogs. Viscosities increased with alcohol chain length and decreased with temperature. The dependence of viscosity on temperature was fit with an equation based on Erying's rate equation. Some esters with branched acid or branched alcohol moieties, and some oleate esters might be utilized as biolubricants or biofuels on the basis of their melting points and viscosities.
