Optimized enzymatic synthesis of levulinate ester in solvent-free system
Ethyl levulinate, produced through esterification of levulinic acid, is a ketoester with various applications. Synthesis of ethyl levulinate was carried out in solvent-free system using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (Novozym 435) as the biocatalyst for the reaction. Response surface method...
