Angulo, Beatriz; Fraile, Jose M.; Gil, Laura; Herrerias, Clara I. published the artcile< Comparison of Chemical and Enzymatic Methods for the Transesterification of Waste Fish Oil Fatty Ethyl Esters with Different Alcohols>, Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks, the main research area is enzyme transesterification waste fish oil fatty ethyl ester alc.
Fatty acid esters of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (EH), 2-hexyl-1-decanol (HD), and isopropanol have been obtained from a mixture of Et esters obtained as a fish oil byproduct. Homogeneous base catalysis with alk. hydroxides and alkoxides has been compared with the use of two com. available immobilized lipases. The enzymic methodol. is more efficient in the case of the largest alc. (HD) mainly because of the high stability of the immobilized enzymes upon recovery and reuse. In contrast, the use of a base as a catalyst is highly favorable in the case of isopropanol because of the rather poor activity of the lipases and the low price of the bases. With EH, the activity of lipases is good but the recoverability is not as efficient; hence, basic catalysts are again the most attractive alternative. The mixtures of esters obtained may be useful as hydraulic liquids given their viscosity values.
