The effect of lipase specificity of transesterification of olive oil with cod liver

Abstract

The effect of lipase specificity on the transesterification of olive oil with cod liver oil was studied. The lipases were from Rhizomucor miehei, Pseudomonas flourescens, Amano lipase PS-C 1, Aspergillus niger and wheat germ. Transesterification reaction was carried out at 60°C and 200 rpm for 6 hours.
