Biocatalytic synthesis of ethylhexyl palmitate and ethylhexyl stearate as natural alternatives of cyclomethicone has been studied. In this work the esters have been obtained with two com. enzymes: Novozym435 and Novozym40086 in a “”solvent free”” system. Operational conditions have been optimized using exptl. design and response surface methodol. In the optimum reaction conditions conversion values were higher than 85% in one hour in all the cases. Operation in vacuum reactors with constant N2 bubbling improved the obtained results since it favors water removal and, in consequence, the shifting reaction equilibrium in the way of the synthesis. Besides, Candida antarctica lipase Novozym435 was the most effective, reaching a conversion value of 98% in 45 min. However, cost study revealed that the process is cheaper when using Novozym40086 in open-air reactors.
