A new standardized lipolysis approach for characterization of emulsions and dispersions

A new standardized lipolysis approach is presented where the focus is on the initial rate of lipolysis. An advantage is that data obtained in this way reflect degradation before growing amounts of lipolysis products retard the process. The method can be used to rank different lipase substrates. In particular, the method can be used to obtain information about the susceptibility to degradation of various emulsions and dispersions that are used in technical applications. We present how the method is standardized to facilitate comparison of various substrates. This involves (i) lipase substrate in excess, i.e., the amount of lipase is rate limiting, and (ii) expressing rate of degradation relative to that of a reference substrate, tributyrin. Under such conditions, with the amount of lipase substrate held constant, an increase in enzymatic activity will generate a proportional increase in the lipolysis rate. This enables comparison of results obtained from different enzyme batches and corrects for day-to-day variability. Examples illustrating the potential of the method to discriminate and rank different lipase substrates with regard to enzymatic degradation are presented.     

Alkylation of Ethyl Nitroacetate in the Absence of Solvent

Formation and stability of phytate complexes in solution

1,2,3,4,5,6 hexakis (di-hydrogen phosphate) myo-inositol, best known as phytic acid, is a very important molecule from a biological, environmental and technological point of view. For a thorough understanding of phytate properties and the mechanisms involving this ligand, a careful study of its acid–base behavior and of the formation and stability of its complexes in solution is necessary. Unfortunately, regarding the thermodynamic data on phytate complexes in solution, some are lacking, while some others exhibit large discrepancies between different authors. This motivated a detailed evaluation of the literature on this topic, aimed at identifying the most accurate data on phytate coordination chemistry in solution. This review presents the results of this, reporting and analyzing the most significant thermodynamic parameters published for both phytate protonation and complex formation with several metal and organometal cations, as well as polyammonium ligands.     

Studies of lipase-catalyzed polyesterification of an unactivated diacid/diol system

Preliminary enzymatic polymerization studies in the simple stoichiometric adipic acid/butane-1,4-diol system using lipase B from Candida antarctica, immobilized as Novozym 435®, suggest that in solvent-free conditions a step-growth mechanism operates involving the sequential addition of an AB synthon by esterification mode only. Conversely, in toluene as solvent there is a change to the more facile transesterification mode in line with the conventional polyesterification procedure, pointing to a change in specificity of the lipase. Evidence is drawn from qualitative studies using a series of synthetic intermediates, enabling authentication of product mixtures together with an indication of the comparative reactivity of species along the proposed reaction pathway. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Solvent-Free Production of Bioflavors by Enzymatic Esterification of Citronella (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Cymbopogon winterianus</Emphasis>) Essential Oil

Enzymatic esterification of citronella essential oil towards the production of geranyl and citronellyl esters may present great scientific and technological interest due to the well-known drawbacks of the chemical-catalyzed route. In this context, this work reports the maximization of geranyl and citronellyl esters production by esterification of oleic and propionic acids in a solvent-free system using a commercial immobilized lipase as catalyst. Results of the reactions showed that the strategy adopted for the experimental design proved to be useful in evaluating the effects of the studied variables on the reaction conversion using Novozym 435 as catalyst. The operating conditions that maximized the production of each ester were determined, leading, in a general way, to conversions of about 90% for all systems. New experimental data on enzymatic esterification of crude citronella essential oil for geranyl and citronellyl esters production in solvent-free system are reported in this work.     

Microwave-assisted solvent-free lipase catalyzed transesterification of β-ketoesters

Abstract

Lipase-catalyzed transesterification was used as an efficient tool for the interconversion of β-ketoesters. Catalytic activity of commercial lipase B from Candida antarctica (Novozym 435) was evaluated in systems involving non activated acyl donors, and enhanced using microwave irradiation. Interestingly, the combination of CAL B in microwave irradiation worked excellent in solvent-free conditions, thus assuring a highly competitive and environment-friendly process with high yields (up to 96%) in competitive times (< 2h). The combination of biocatalysis with solvent-free systems and microwave assistance is currently scarcely used, and may represent a powerful synergy for preparative reactions.     

Statistical and Mathematical Investigations for Determining the Binding Constants of Micelle with Reactants Molecules from Kinetic Data

Binding constants between reactants molecules with micelles are considered to be important parameters particularly in micellar catalysis area. Recently, we developed a statistical method based on multiple linear regression for determining those parameters from kinetic data (Phys. Chem. Liq. 2008, 46, 34–46). In the present work, we derived further two statistical equations from the same original equation using also multiple linear regression method. A substantial difference has been found between the results of those equations and with that of the recently published one. This strongly indicates that the statistical procedures are not valid for such a purpose, that is, the available statistical and graphical methods in the literature are also not suitable for such treatment. A mathematical procedure using iterative method for evaluating the binding constants is introduced. An equation for such treatment has also been derived from the same original equation, and a computer program for this purpose has been written. Application of the developed method to the kinetic data has been found to be quite successful. It has been concluded that the presented mathematical method is simple, reliable, and accurate.     

Stability improvement of immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B in an organic medium under microwave radiation

The influence of microwave heating on the stability of immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B was studied at 100 degrees in an organic medium. The microwave radiation was carried out before enzymatic reaction (storage conditions) or during the enzymatic catalysis (use conditions). In both cases, enzymatic stability was higher under microwave heating than under conventional thermal heating, in strictly identical operating conditions. Furthermore, the gain of enzymatic stability under microwave heating appears to be higher in a more polar solvent, which interacts strongly with the microwave field. Our results suggest that microwave radiation has an effect, not related to temperature, on the process of enzymatic inactivation.     

The use of cyclic voltammetric measurements for the determination of kinetic constants in enzyme-based electrocatalysis. The case of the redox mediated dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidation catalyzed by flavoproteins

On the basis of simulated voltammetric curves used as testing data, practical methods to extract the bimolecular rate constant for a mediated enzymatic catalysis with an excess of the substrate are examined. The evaluation criteria are the simplicity of treatment and the agreement between the expected and the obtained values of the rate constants. The results obtained indicate that the different approaches examined are equivalent.     

Influence of microwave radiation on free Candida antarctica lipase B activity and stability

The influence of microwave heating on free Candida antarctica lipase B activity and stability was studied over the temperature range from 40 to 110 degrees C. Concerning the lipase activity, identical initial rate and conversion yield were obtained under microwave radiation and classical thermal heating for the alcoholysis between ethyl butyrate and butanol in a solvent-free system. On the other hand, the kinetics of the free lipase inactivation in butanol appears to be influenced by the heating mode. The Arrhenius plot obtained under classical heating was linear over all the temperature range studied whereas a biphasic Arrhenius plot was obtained under microwaves. The non-classical effect of the microwave heating on the initial rate of the enzymatic inactivation was thus dependent on the temperature of incubation.

Enzymatic Ring-Opening Polymerization of Lactones by Lipase Catalyst: Mechanistic Aspects

Mechanistic aspects of lipase-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactones to give polyesters are discussed from accumulated experimental data and new insight. Comparison of the ROP reactivity by lipase catalyst with the anionic ROP reactivity by a metal-catalyst clearly demonstrates the characteristics of lipase catalysis; the larger ring-sized monomers with lower ring strain showed higher polymerizability than medium ring-sized ones, in contrast to the anionic ROP showing the reverse direction where the ring strain of monomer is operative. The enzyme-catalysis involves an acyl-enzyme intermediate formation as a key-step. From the copolymerization results a new mechanism is proposed, that involves the formation of the acyl-enzyme intermediate (acylation step) and/or the nucleophilic attack of the propagationg alcohol end to the carbonyl carbon of the intermediate to open the monomer ring (deacylation step) as the rate-determining step. The structure of the propagating alcohol end (primary or secondary) affects much on which step is more operative.

Unchanged monomer was recovered in the absence of the enzyme or using an inactivated enzyme, indicating that the present polymerization proceeds through enzymatic catalysis.

Sample preparation in alkaline media

The use of tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tertiary amines and strongly alkaline reagents for sample treatment involving extraction and digestion procedures is discussed in this review. The preparation of slurries is also discussed. Based on literature data, alkaline media offer a good alternative for sample preparation involving an appreciable group of analytes in different types of samples. These reagents are also successfully employed in tailored speciation procedures wherein there is a critical dependence on maintenance of chemical forms. The effects of these reagents on measurements performed using spectroanalytical techniques are discussed. Several undesirable effects on transport and atomization processes necessitate use of the method of standard additions to obtain accurate results. It is also evident that alkaline media can improve the performance of techniques such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and accessories, such as autosamplers coupled to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometers.     

均相介质中脂肪酶催化沙丁鱼油甘油解反应的动力学研究

Extending the solvent-free MALDI sample preparation method

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry is an important technique to characterize many different materials, including synthetic polymers. MALDI mass spectral data can be used to determine the polymer average molecular weights, repeat units, and end groups. One of the key issues in traditional MALDI sample preparation is making good solutions of the analyte and the matrix. Solvent-free sample preparation methods have been developed to address these issues. Previous results of solvent-free or dry prepared samples show some advantages over traditional wet sample preparation methods. Although the results of the published solvent-free sample preparation methods produced excellent mass spectra, we found the method to be very time-consuming, with significant tool cleaning, which presents a significant possibility of cross contamination. To address these issues, we developed an extension of the solvent-free method that replaces the mortar and pestle grinding with ball milling the sample in a glass vial with two small steel balls. This new method generates mass spectra with equal quality of the previous methods, but has significant advantages in productivity, eliminates cross contamination, and is applicable to liquid and soft or waxy analytes.
