Enzymatic Transesterification using Immobilized Lipase in Production of Biodiesel from Nannochloropsis Oculata
Abstract: The microalgae have higher photosynthetic efficiency, higher biomass production and faster growth compared to other energy crops. The growth of Nannochloropsis oculata was enhanced in 300mg/l of nitrogen concentration and the optimum temperature for growth is 25â—¦C. 38% of microalgal oil was extracted and then converted to biodiesel by enzymatic transesterification using an immobilized lipase (triacyl glycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3). In this study, expensive to produce biodiesel because of the …

Variation in Activity of Lipase Immobilized on Chitosan and Alginate Nanoparticles by Changing Concentration of the Preparatory Reagents
Abstract: Chitosan and alginate nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method. The concentrations of each of the preparatory reagents (for chitosan: acetic acid, chitosan, sodium sulphate, glutaraldehyde and for alginate: calcium chloride, alginate, glutaraldehyde) were altered to check their consequences. Lipase was chemically crosslinked to these nanoparticles. Enzymatic assay was carried out for every alteration separately. To visualize the changes in each reagent at every step a precise table is incorporated …

Biocatalytic Process by Biodiesel Production to the help of Environment
Abstract: The synthesis of fatty acid esters using vegetable oils seems to be a crucial process that yields good diesel fuel substitutes and useful oleochemical intermediates. Biodiesel is made from fatty acid methyl esters, which are a mixture of mono-alkyl esters produced from vegetable oils including sunflower oil, soyabean oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, cotton seed oil, and animal fats like pig fats and lard. Biodiesel can also be made from …

Preparation of Lipase Loaded Chitosan Nanoparticles and its Estimation Using Different Additives
Abstract: Chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation technique and simultaneously entrapment of lipase was carried out in it. These were then subjected to additives such as surfactants, pluronics and ionic liquids. Activity of lipase was assayed in free as well as immobilized conditions. It was then compared to immobilized enzyme bound to these polymers. The results have been graphically displayed. Among surfactants, tween 80 and triton X-100 were used with …
