Castor oil is a vegetable product extracted from Ricinus communis L (castor seed), which is
primarily considered an important commercial value for the manufacturing of soaps …

Lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase) is a unique enzyme which can catalyze various types
of reactions such as hydrolysis, esterification, alcoholysis etc. In particular, hydrolysis of …

We performed two-step enzymatic biolubricant production: castor oil hydrolysis and
esterification of castor oil free fatty acids (COFFA) rich in ricinoleic acid. The hydrolysis step …
