Abstract
Oleyl alcohol and oleic acid were esterified using lipase-surfactant c omplex (LSC) in a solvent-free reaction system. LSC showed a higher re action rate than the crude enzyme in the reaction system. Optimum LSC activity was obtained at 180 mg/g-solution water addition. A prelimina ry study of the membrane reactor system using a microfiltration membra ne and a solvent-free reaction was performed, and the feasibility of t he reactor system was confirmed.
