The rising global demand for sustainable energy resources is resulting in an accelerated
increase in biodiesel consumption. In this sense, studies aimed at tackling process hurdles …

The cost of lipases and the relatively slower reaction rate remain as the major obstacles for
enzymatic production of biodiesel as opposed to the conventional chemical processes. This …

The enzymatic route for preparing biodiesel mediated by lipases (EC 3.1. 1.3, triacylglycerol
ester hydrolases) constitutes one of the main alternatives for biofuel synthesis. The …

Lipases are being extensively researched for the production of biodiesel as a “silver bullet”
in order to avoid the drawbacks of the traditional alkaline transesterification. In this review …

In recent years, the production of renewable fuels such as biodiesel has attracted
considerable interest as an alternative to fossil fuels. The biodiesel production via enzymatic …

Biodiesel, defined as monoalkyl fatty acid ester (preferentially methyl and ethyl esters),
represents a promising alternative fuel for use in compression‐ignition (diesel) engines …

Enzymatic synthesis of biodiesel showed advantageous characteristics in relation to other
technologies once it works under bland conditions, no generation of wastewater, no …

Lipases represent one of the most reported groups of enzymes for the production of biofuels.
They are used for the processing of glycerides and fatty acids for biodiesel (fatty acid alkyl …

There are growing demands by the biodiesel companies to get cheap lipase formulation,
preferably in liquid forms, which can give an answer to their needs. Thus, many commercial …

Biodiesel has attracted considerable interest in recent years as an alternative,
biodegradable and nonpolluting transportation fuel. Conventional alkaline process for …
