Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of lipases, specifically from Thermomyces lanuginosus, in industrial processes to create high-purity products while minimizing pollutants and enhancing selectivity and yields.
- Two immobilization techniques for the lipase enzyme are compared: one using tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and another using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), both involving hydrolysis and polycondensation.
- Results show that the choice of silica precursor and drying method (aerogel vs. xerogel) significantly impacts the biocatalyst's properties, with supercritical CO2 drying yielding notably better enzymatic activity and structural characteristics.
