Optimization of lipase-catalyzed esterification for the production of medium-chain acylgcerols from palm oil fatty acid distillate: using response surface methodology

Optimization of lipase-catalyzed esterification for the production of medium-chain acylglycerols (MCA) from palm oil fatty acid distillate (PFAD) and glycerol was carried out in order to determine the factors that have significant effects on the reaction system and MCA yield. Oil palm mesocarp lipas...
