In this work, we have investigated the combine use of ultrasound and lipase (Pseudomonas cepacia: PCL) immobilized on co-polymer of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CHI) for biocatalytic applications. Initially, we have screened different free and immobilized biocatalysts to find-out the robust biocatalyst. The immobilized biocatalyst PVA:CHI:PCL (5:5:2.5) worked as a robust biocatalyst to provide superior conversion (99%) for the synthesis of model ultrasound assisted reaction. Subsequently, various reaction parameters were optimized in details to obtain the higher yield. Besides this, developed biocatalytic protocol was used to synthesize various industrially important butyrate compounds which provided excellent conversion of 99% under ultrasonic conditions. The developed biocatalyst showed excellent recyclability upto studied five cycles under ultrasonic condition. The immobilized PVA:CHI:PCL biocatalyst displayed 2.4 folds higher activity as compared to free lipases in ultrasonic condition. Moreover, PVA:CHI:PCL biocatalyst in ultrasound media showed 4.5 folds higher activity as compared to free lipases in conventional media. The energy assessment was performed which demonstrated feasibility of combine use of immobilization and ultrasonication to carry out efficient biocatalytic process.
