Synthesis of palm kernel oil alkanolamide using lipase

Fatty monoethanolamides were synthesized in organic solvent from palm kernel olein (PKL) and palm kernel stearin (PKS) using a lipase from Candida rugosa. The transamidation reactions of PKL and PKS were enhanced in the presence of lipase. The optimal yield was achieved at reaction time 72 hours for...
