Content:
This book outlines supercritical fluids as a green alternative reaction medium in catalytic reactions involving lipases. Lipases have a great potential in industrial applications and the text describes their main sources, reaction kinetics, structure, physicochemical characteristics, and applications. It discusses lipase immobilization and its advantages over soluble lipases, immobilization techniques, immobilization materials, and bioreactor configurations using immobilized lipase. It also explores the advantages of non-aqueous media in biochemical synthesis and includes a case study on using SC-CO2 for biodiesel production.
