Abstract: | Crambe oil and camelina oil were transesterified with oleyl alcohol, the alcohols derived from crambe and camelina oils, n-octanol or isopropanol using Novozym 435 (immobilized lipase B from Candida antarctica), Lipozyme IM (immobilized lipase from Rhizomucor miehei), and papaya (Carica papaya) latex lipase as biocatalysts. The highest conversions to alkyl esters were obtained with Novozym 435 (up to 95%) in most
cases, whereas Lipozyme IM and papaya latex lipase gave lower (40 to 50%) conversions. The conversions with long-chain alcohols
(oleyl alcohol, crambe alcohols, and camelina alcohols) were higher (40 to 95%) than with medium-chain n-octanol (30 to 85%). Isopropyl esters of crambe oil and camelina oil were obtained with rather low conversions using Novozym
435 (<40%) and Lipozyme IM (about 10%) as biocatalysts, whereas with papaya latex lipase no isopropyl esters were formed.
The conversions of crambe oil and camelina oil to oleyl and n-octyl esters using Novozym 435 as biocatalyst were hardly affected by the ratio of the substrates, but with Lipozyme IM the
conversions to alkyl esters distinctly increased with an excess of alcohol substrate
