Abstract

Methanolysis (transesterification with methanol) of sunflower oil by lipase from Candida antarctica (Novozym 435) in a solvent-free system has been studied. Stepwise as well as continuous methanol feeding was applied to avoid strong substrate inhibition. Glycerol was found to cause strong product inhibition on the enzymatic reaction, therefore glycerol removal by dialysis was investigated using a flat sheet membrane module.
