Enzymatic Interesterification of Crude Palm Oil with Methyl acetate: Effect of Pre-treatment, Enzyme Dosage and Its Stability
In the present study, biodiesel was produced via the enzymatic interesterification of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) with methyl acetate within ultrasonic condition. In contrast to alcohol, methyl acetate as an acyl acceptor does not inhibit lipase activity and can create triacetin as a useful byproduct. In t...
