Integrated synthesis and extraction of short‐chain fatty acid esters by supercritical carbon dioxide

We developed an efficient, integrated reaction‐extraction process for the production of short‐chain fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) from milk fat, using carbon dioxide as the only processing solvent. FAEE were synthesized using a short‐chain fatty acid selective lipase. The expansion of the liquid mixture of reactants by dense carbon dioxide enhanced the apparent lipase selectivity. In situ extraction of FAEE by a continuous flow of supercritical carbon dioxide proved to increase the lipase production rate. When the integrated process was operated with alternated periods of synthesis and product removal, the overall selectivity for short‐chain FAEE increased as well, as a result of the combination of the selectivities of lipase and extraction solvent. A two‐fold increase of the lipase productivity was achieved at these conditions, compared to a single batch reaction. The developed process enables the synthesis and isolation of high‐value fatty acid derivatives from a natural source such as milk fat. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2009     

Investigation of synthetic lipase and its use in transesterification reactions

A novel synthetic polymer selective for p-nitrophenylpalmitate was synthesized by molecular imprinting technique. We have combined the principle of molecular imprinting with the ability of histidine, glutamic acid and serine to form a catalytic cavity that can promote the catalytic degradation of p-nitrophenyl palmitate.For the creation of such catalytic sites we first synthesized appropriate monomers and used p-nitrophenyl palmitate as a template to synthesize the imprinted polymers and the binding characteristics of the polymers were evaluated. The optimum pH was determined by evaluating different pH values and the hydrolytic activity of synthetic lipase was evaluated in the framework of Micheaelis–Menten kinetics. In addition, the values of maximal rate: Vm (0.68 mM/min) and Michaelis–Menten constant, Km (1.4 × 10^?2 mM) were obtained from Lineweaver–Burk plots for the imprinted polymeric catalyst.     

Biodegradable polymers based on renewable resources. IV. Enzymatic degradation of polyesters composed of 1,4:3.6‐dianhydro‐D‐glucitol and aliphatic dicarboxylic acid moieties

Enzymatic degradation of a series of polyesters prepared from 1,4:3.6‐dianhydro‐D ‐glucitol (1) and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids of the methylene chain length ranging from 2 to 10 were examined using seven different enzymes. Enzymatic degradability of these polyesters as estimated by water‐soluble total organic carbon (TOC) measurement is dependent on the methylene chain length (m) of the dicarboxylic acid component for most of the enzymes examined. The most remarkable substrate specificity was observed for Rhizopus delemar lipase, which degraded polyester derived from 1 and suberic acid (m = 6) most readily. In contrast, degradation by Porcine liver esterase was nearly independent of the structure of the polyesters. Enzymatic degradability of the polyesters based on three isomeric 1,4:3.6‐dianhydrohexitols and sebacic acid was found to decrease in the order of 1, 1,4:3.6‐dianhydro‐D ‐mannitol (2), and 1,4:3.6‐dianhydro‐L ‐iditol (3). Structural analysis of water‐soluble degradation products formed during the enzymatic hydrolysis of polyester 5g derived from 1 and sebacic acid has shown that the preferential ester cleavage occurs at the O(5) position of 1,4:3.6‐dianhydro‐D ‐glucitol moiety in the polymer chain by enzymes including Porcine pancreas lipase, Rhizopus delemar lipase, and Pseudomonas sp. lipase. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Lipase production in continuous culture of Candida rugosa

The yeast Candida rugosa produces multiple extracellular lipases. The production of extra‐ and intracellular lipases was investigated in continuous cultures using a sole or different mixtures of carbon sources. Also, the effect of different C:N ratios was tested. Lipase productivity in continuous cultures increased by 50% compared with data obtained from batch fermentations and depended on the dilution rate applied. Maximum yields relative to consumed substrate were obtained with oleic acid at low dilution rate. It was found that during nitrogen limitation, lipase activity was suppressed. All carbon source mixtures tested allowed both cell growth and lipase production, but extra‐ and intracellular lipase activities were affected by the combination of substrates used. Maximum extracellular lipolytic productivity was attained with lactic and oleic acid mixtures, probably due to the non‐repressor effect of these carbon sources. The chemical composition of the biomass also depended on the type of substrate used and was related to the accumulation of lipidic compounds as intracellular inclusions, which were observed when oleic acid was used as the carbon source. The results obtained were compared with previous data from batch and fed‐batch cultures in order to select the best process strategies for the lipase production with C rugosa. The best lipase yields were obtained in fed‐batch fermentations using oleic acid. Copyright © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry     

Intracellular distribution of lipolytic activity in the female gametophyte of germinating Douglas fir seeds

Acid (pH 5.2) and neutral (pH 7.1) lipase activity was studied in order to localize the sites of lipolysis in cellular fractions of catabolic organ of Douglas fir seed. Cellular particles were separated by differential centrifugation of the tissue homogenate and identified by electron microscopy. Emulsified native neutral lipids were provided as a substrate to protein body, mitochondrial, microsomal and soluble fractions, and endogenous lipids were used as a substrate for light and heavy fat body fractions. Little difference was observed in average specific activity of the two enzyme systems in dry seeds, but acid lipase activity increased sevenfold and neutral lipase activity fourfold during germination. Highest specific activity of both enzyme systems was found to be associated with the heavy fat bodies and the soluble fraction. Heavy fat bodies contained an ample quantity of endogenous substrate while the soluble fraction consisted of little substrate. Experimental data indicated that the soluble fraction was the source of lipases, and the heavy fat bodies were the site of in situ lipolysis.     

Lipase made active in hydrophobic media

Enzymes are distinguished from other catalysts by their high substrate specificity. This is a great asset when one wants to apply them for syntheses of various compounds. Their usage, however, generally is limited to hydrophilic reaction media, because they usually are not soluble and active in hydrophobic media. Recently, we have been able to make various enzymes soluble and active in highly hydrophobic organic solvents. The key to this success is the chemical modification of enzymes with an amphipathic synthetic polymer, polyethylene glycol. The activated polymers can be attached to enzymes in aqueous buffer solutions, and once enzymes are modified they become soluble and active in various organic solvents such as benzene, toluene and cholorinated hydrocarbons and exhibit high enzymic activities in these organic solvents. Modified hydrolytic enzymes catalyzed the reverse reaction of hydrolysis in organic solvents. The modified lipase catalyzed various ester synthesis reactions. Because the reactions were conducted in the pure solvent system, it also was possible to study the kinetics and the substrate specificity for ester synthesis reaction. It also catalyzed the polymerization of a hydroxy group containing carboxylic acid due to the bifunctional nature. The modified lipase catalyzed ester exchange between an ester and an alcohol, between an ester and a carboxylic acid and between two esters in organic solvents. When the two substrates for ester exchange were liquid, the reaction could take place without organic solvents. The modified lipase catalyzed an ester exchange reaction between trilaurin and triolein when dissolved in these substrates. Dilauroyl-monooleoylglycerol and monolauroyl-dioleoyl-glycerol were formed from these two substrates in the presence of the modified lipase. The modified enzyme was extremely thermostable in its substrates. In the ester synthesis and ester exchange reactions, a trace amount of water was necessary for expression of the enzymic activity. It is suggested that the amphipathic polymer molecules retained water in close proximity to the enzyme.

Optimization of lipase production by Penicillium simplicissimum in soybean meal

BACKGROUND: Lipase production by Penicillium simplicissimum using soybean meal as substrate has been investigated. A factorial design technique was used to evaluate the effects of incubation temperature, initial moisture of the meal and substrate supplementation with low cost supplements, on lipase production. Soybean oil and wastewater from a slaughterhouse, which is rich on oil and fat, corn steep liquor and yeast hydrolysate, were tested as supplementary carbon and nitrogen sources. RESULTS Cultivation conditions were optimized for the production of lipase by factorial design and response surface methodology. Results show that the microorganism produces very low protease activity (0.21 U gds^?1 dry substrate), which helps to maximize lipase production. Soybean meal without supplements appears to be the best medium of those tested for lipase production by P. simplicissimum. CONCLUSION: This work showed that temperature and moisture are the factors that most strongly influence lipase production by P. simplicissimum using soybean meal as substrate. The growth conditions that optimize lipase production are 27.5 °C using substrate with 550 g kg^?1 of initial moisture. In optimum conditions lipase activity of 30 U gds^?1 dry substrate was obtained. Copyright © 2007 Society of Chemical Industry     

Four Amino Acid Residues Influence the Substrate Chain-Length and Regioselectivity of Siganus canaliculatus Δ4 and Δ5/6 Desaturases

Although ω3‐ and ω6‐ desaturases have been well studied in terms of substrate preference and regiospecificity, relatively little is known about the membrane‐bound, “front‐end” long chain fatty acid desaturases, such as ?4, Δ5 or Δ6 desaturases. The first vertebrate ?4 desaturase was recently identified in the marine teleost fish Siganus canaliculatus (S. canaliculatus), which also possesses a bifunctional Δ5/6 desaturase. These two long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid desaturases are very different in terms of regiospecificity and substrate chain‐length, but share an unusually high degree of amino acid identity (83 %). We took advantage of this similarity by constructing a series of chimeric enzymes, replacing regions of one enzyme with the corresponding sequence of the other. Heterologous expression of the chimeric series of enzymes in yeast indicated that the substitution of a four amino acid region was sufficient to convert a ?4 desaturase to an enzyme with ?6 desaturase activity, and convert a ?5/6 desaturase to an enzyme with a low level of ?4 desaturase activity. In addition, enzymes having both ?4 and ?6 desaturase activities were produced by single or double amino acid substitutions within this four‐amino acid region.     

Design of biomimetic catalysts by molecular imprinting in synthetic polymers: the role of transition state stabilization

The impressive efficiency and selectivity of biological catalysts has engendered a long-standing effort to understand the details of enzyme action. It is widely accepted that enzymes accelerate reactions through their steric and electronic complementarity to the reactants in the rate-determining transition states. Thus, tight binding to the transition state of a reactant (rather than to the corresponding substrate) lowers the activation energy of the reaction, providing strong catalytic activity. Debates concerning the fundamentals of enzyme catalysis continue, however, and non-natural enzyme mimics offer important additional insight in this area. Molecular structures that mimic enzymes through the design of a predetermined binding site that stabilizes the transition state of a desired reaction are invaluable in this regard. Catalytic antibodies, which can be quite active when raised against stable transition state analogues of the corresponding reaction, represent particularly successful examples. Recently, synthetic chemistry has begun to match nature's ability to produce antibody-like binding sites with high affinities for the transition state. Thus, synthetic, molecularly imprinted polymers have been engineered to provide enzyme-like specificity and activity, and they now represent a powerful tool for creating highly efficient catalysts. In this Account, we review recent efforts to develop enzyme models through the concept of transition state stabilization. In particular, models for carboxypeptidase A were prepared through the molecular imprinting of synthetic polymers. On the basis of successful experiments with phosphonic esters as templates to arrange amidinium groups in the active site, the method was further improved by combining the concept of transition state stabilization with the introduction of special catalytic moieties, such as metal ions in a defined orientation in the active site. In this way, the imprinted polymers were able to provide both an electrostatic stabilization for the transition state through the amidinium group as well as a synergism of transition state recognition and metal ion catalysis. The result was an excellent catalyst for carbonate hydrolysis. These enzyme mimics represent the most active catalysts ever prepared through the molecular imprinting strategy. Their catalytic activity, catalytic efficiency, and catalytic proficiency clearly surpass those of the corresponding catalytic antibodies. The active structures in natural enzymes evolve within soluble proteins, typically by the refining of the folding of one polypeptide chain. To incorporate these characteristics into synthetic polymers, we used the concept of transition state stabilization to develop soluble, nanosized carboxypeptidase A models using a new polymerization method we term the "post-dilution polymerization method". With this methodology, we were able to prepare soluble, highly cross-linked, single-molecule nanoparticles. These particles have controlled molecular weights (39 kDa, for example) and, on average, one catalytically active site per particle. Our strategies have made it possible to obtain efficient new enzyme models and further advance the structural and functional analogy with natural enzymes. Moreover, this bioinspired design based on molecular imprinting in synthetic polymers offers further support for the concept of transition state stabilization in catalysis.     

Studies on the enzymatic synthesis of lipophilic derivatives of natural antioxidants

The esterification of some natural antioxidants such as cinnamic acid derivatives and ascorbic acid in non-aqueous media, catalyzed by immobilized lipases from Candida antarctica and Rhizomucor miehei, was investigated. The alcohol chain length affected the rate of esterification of cinnamic acids by both lipases. Higher reaction rates were observed when the esterification was carried out with medium- or long-chain alcohols. The rate also depended on aromatic acid structure. The reactivity of the carboxylic function of the cinnamic acids was affected by electron-donating substituents in the aromatic ring. Higher yields were observed for the esterification of p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (97%) catalyzed by C. antarctica lipase and for the esterification of cinnamic acid (59%) catalyzed by R. miehei lipase. Candida antarctica lipase was more suitable for producing ascorbic acid fatty esters, catalyzing with a relatively high yield (up to 65% within 24 h) the regioselective esterification of ascorbic acid with various fatty acids in 2-methyl-2-propanol. The reaction rate and yield depended on the fatty acid chain length and on the molar ratio of reactants. All ascorbic acid fatty esters produced by this procedure exhibited a significant antioxidant activity in a micellar substrate composed of linoleic acid.
