Silica glass-entrapped lipase was prepared by the sol-gel method using tetramethoxysilane, and its esterification activity in n-hexane was examined for isoamylbutyrate formation. The hydrogel preparation containing a large amount of water exhibited enough activity. Although the activity of xerogel-e
