Enzymatic production of fatty acid esters from the esterification of oleyl alcohol with various fatty acids was investigated by using two new tetraethylammonium amino acid ionic liquids-coated Candida rugosa lipase (ILs-CRL) as biocatalysts in hexane. Both enzyme derivatives were prepared by mixing Candida rugosa lipase with tetraethylammonium l-histidinate (IL1) and tetraethylammonium l-asparaginate (IL2). The ILs-CRL system containing the equivalent protein concentration as in CRL showed higher esterification activity especially on medium chain fatty acids (C12-C16) as compared to non-coated CRL. Hydrophilicity of ILs may play an important role in hydrogen bonding with enzyme surface and consequently stabilize the ILs-CRL.

The hydrolysis and esterification by a thermostable lipase from Humicola lanuginosa No. 3 were investigated.Both reactions occurred readily at temperatures between 45-50 deg C.Esterification by the enzyme with glycerol was observed to be specific towards fatty acids with carbon numbers of C12-C18.Lauric acid esters with different alcohols such as primary alcohols, terpene alcohols, etc., were also synthesized readily.Esterification by the enzyme was adversely affected by the water content (optimum, ca. 7percent), however, the hydrolysis rate increased rapidly with increasing water content (optimum, ca. 60percent).The enzyme showed increased activity in organic solvent-aqueous reaction systems.Nevertheless, hydrolysis in complete organic phase reactions was found not to be feasible.Hydrolysis at a higher temperature (50 or 55 deg C) in a solvent free phase was almost the same as that in organic solvent-aqueous phase reactions.The components of glycerides varied considerably during hydrolysis, whereby esterification resulted in a higher quantity of mono- and diglycerides (about 40percent), compared to in the case of hydrolysis, for which the value was about 10-20percent.
