Abstract
Enzymatic deacidification reaction of hyperacid oils, biocatalyzed by a lipase of Mucor miehei (Lipozyme), was optimized on a reconstituted acid oil, according to an experimental plan with the following variabl e parameters : pressure, temperature, proportion of biocatalyst. The o ptimum values defined (20 mm Hg, 60-degrees-C, 5.5 % w/w of Lipozyme) allowed to determine reaction kinetics and to obtain a yield of 93 %.
