S. Mert et al., PRODUCTION OF GLYCERIDES FROM GLYCEROL AND FATTY-ACIDS BY NATIVE LIPASE OF NIGELLA-SATIVA SEED, Applied biochemistry and biotechnology, 50(3), 1995, pp. 333-342
The possible application of native lipase of Nigella sativa seed in th
e esterification of fatty acids to glycerol was investigated, and the
effect of process parameters and the enzyme selectivity on the reactio
n were determined. For this aim, the esterification of oleic acid, sun
flower oil fatty acids, and coco oil fatty acids with glycerol were st
udied.
