This paper studied lipase-catalyzed synthesis of ethyl hexanoate in dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid/isooctane/water microemulsion system. The effect of several parameters, such as w0 ([H2O]/[surfactant]) value, reaction time, reaction temperature, oil phase solvent, buffer solution pH value of microemulsion system on the esterification have been investigated. The results showed that the best experimental conditions for catalytic synthesis ethyl hexanoate were as follows: w0 = 4, reaction time 4 h, reaction temperature 40 °C, buffer solution pH 7. Under these conditions, the conversion of ethyl hexanoate can reach 98.5 %. Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of ethyl hexanoate in dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid inverse microemulsion system has triple mechanism, namely acid catalyzes, microemulsion catalyzes and enzyme catalyzes.

(Z)-3-hexen-1-yl esters are important green top-note components of food flavors and fragrances. Effects of various process conditions on (Z)-3-hexen-1-yl caproate synthesis employing germinated rapeseed lipase acetone powder in organic solvent were investigated. Rapeseed lipase catalyzed ester formation more efficiently with non-polar compared to polar solvents despite high enzyme stability in both types of solvents. Maximum ester yield (90%) was obtained when 0.125 M (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol and caproic acid were reacted at 25 °C for 48 h in the presence of 50 g/L enzyme in heptane. Enzyme showed little sensitivity towards aw with optimum yield at 0.45, while added water did not affect ester yield. Esterification reduced by increasing molecular sieves (>0.0125%, w/v). The highest yields of caproic acid were obtained with isoamyl alcohol (93%) followed by butanol and (Z)-3-hexen-1-o1 (88%) respectively reflecting the enzyme specificity for straight and branched chain alcohols. Secondary alcohols showed low reactivity, while tertiary alcohol had either very low reactivity or not esterified at all. A good relationship has been found between ester synthesis and the solvent polarity (log P value); while no correlation for the effect of solvents on residual enzyme activity was observed. It may be concluded that germinated rapeseed lipase is a promising biocatalyst for the synthesis of valuable green flavor note compound. The enzyme also showed a wide range of temperature stability (5-50 °C).
