A Comparison of the Resolution of Selective (+/-)-Glycidyl Butyrate by Using Free and Nano-SiO₂ Immobilized Porcine Pancreatic Lipase

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2020 Oct 1;20(10):6168-6172. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2020.18441.

Abstract

To explore the hydrolyzed properties of nano-SiO₂ immobilized porcine pancreatic lipase, the selective hydrolysis of immobilized lipase for glycidyl butyrate was compared with the free enzyme. The hydrolysis selectivity of the immobilized biocatalyst was evaluated and compared with the free enzyme using the enantiomeric excess (ee) of resolving racemic glycidyl butyrate as the indicator. The enantiomeric excess of the immobilized biocatalyst could be increased by 4.5%-10.0% which compared with the free enzyme under every single technological condition. The ee was improved from 84.7% for free enzyme to 91.6% for the immobilized enzyme with 61.2% conversion. Compared with free enzyme, the conversion rate of the immobilized enzyme was increased slightly, but the % enantiomeric excess of the immobilized enzyme was increased greatly.
