Optimization of the enzyme-catalyzed synthesis of amino acid-based surfactants from palm oil fractions
The feasibility of using palm oil fractions as cheap and abundant sources of raw material for the synthesis of amino acid surfactants was investigated. Of a number of enzymes screened, the best results were obtained with the immobilized enzyme, Lipozyme. The effects of temperature, solvent, incubati...
