Lipase-catalyzed synthesis and characterization of myristoyl maltose ester

摘要

Myristoyl maltose ester was synthesized by lipase-catalyzed reaction of maltose and myristic acid. Influence of different reaction parameters, such as molecular sieve concentration, molar ratio of acid/sugar, enzyme concentration, reaction time, and reaction temperature, was studied. Under the optimum conditions of 20 g/L molecular sieve, 14% (w/w) lipase from Novozym 435, and acid/sugar molar ratio of 5:1 at 60 °C for 60 h, the highest conversion (90%) was achieved. The as-prepared maltose ester was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR), liquid chromatograph–mass spectrum (LC–MS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
