  • Title: Transesterification by lipase entrapped in electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol) fibers and its application to a flow-through reactor.
    Author: Sakai S, Antoku K, Yamaguchi T, Kawakami K.
    Journal: J Biosci Bioeng; 2008 Jun; 105(6):687-9. PubMed ID: 18640613.
    Abstract:
    We entrapped lipase in electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol) fibers of approximately 1 mum in diameter and evaluated the transesterification activity by converting (s)-glycidol to glycidyl n-butyrate with vinyl n-butyrate. The initial transesterification rate of the entrapped lipase was 5.2-fold faster than that of non-treated lipase. The fibrous membrane could be used as a component of a flow-through reactor for continuous transesterification.
