Enzymatic production of ethyl esters from castor oil

iodiesel synthesis through transesterificación of castor oil with ethanol using n-hexane as a solvent and a lipozyme TL IM commercial lipase as a biocatalyst was studied. The effect of ethanol molar relation to oil (3:1-10:1), temperature of reaction (35-65ºC), initial enzymatic charge (5-20% p/p)...
