Abstract
The polyol, trimethylolproprane (2-ethyl-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanedi ol), and a mixture of rapeseed oil fatty acid methyl esters were trans esterified by immobilized lipases without additional organic solvent. The conversion to the polyol tri-ester with immobilized Rhizomucor mie hei lipase Lipozyme IM 20 was about 75% after 24 h at 58 degrees C, 5. 3 kPa, with no added water, and the highest conversion of about 90% wa s reached in 66 h.
