Enzyme-catalysed synthesis of plant steryl laurate in non-aqueous media using salt hydrate pairs and its characterisation
The objective of this work was to produce plant steryl esters with lipase-catalysed esterification using salt hydrate pairs in n-hexane and study its cholesterol-lowering properties. The optimum reaction conditions investigated were the lipase variety (Candida rugosa lipase), fatty acid variety (lau...
