To overcome the drawbacks and high costs of the synthetic route to produce pentyl valerate (PeVa), i.e., a fuel additive, the biotechnological route of utilizing Rhizomucor miehei lipase conjugated to magnetite carrier support (RML-CS/CH/MNPs) is proposed. The magnetized RML-CS/CH/MNPs were develope...
