Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of a sugar alcohol-based nonionic surfactant.

Synthesis of three xylitol fatty acid esters, namely xylitol stearate, palmitate and caprate, was performed in hexane using lipase as the biocatalyst. Enzyme screening results indicated that novozym 435 had the highest catalytic activity in the synthesis of ester. The conversion of substrates was si...
