Description
Lipase from Penicillium simplicissimum catalyzes the stereospecific esterification of menthol with fatty acids. The studies on the specificity of this new lipase were carried out using (+), (-) and racemic menthol with water soluble enzyme entrapped in microemulsion systems stabilized with sodium(bis-2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) as surfactant, in isooctane. Microemulsions appear to be an effective and fast system for racemic resolution of alcohols.
