Physico-chemical, spectroscopical and thermal characterization of biodiesel obtained by enzymatic route as a tool to select the most efficient immobilized lipase

Two microbial lipases from Burkholderia cepacia and Pseudomonas fluorescens were evaluated as catalysts for the enzymatic transesterification of beef tallow with ethanol and the most efficient lipase source was selected by taking into account the properties of the product to be used as fuel. Both li...
