Abstract
The surfactant, ethyl 6-O-decanoyl glucoside, was synthesized in micro emulsion systems by lipase catalysis. The microemulsions were based on the two substrates for the reaction, ethyl glucoside and fatty acid, and either the sodium salt of the fatty acid or the glucoside ester wa s used as surfactant. The lipase used was component B from Candida ant arctica. Reduced pressure was employed to eliminate the water of conde nsation. The reaction yield was good, with conversion of fatty acid an d ethyl glucoside reaching 77 and 96%, respectively.
