## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** In this work we describe the synthesis of ethyl esters, commonly known as biodiesel, using refined soybean oil and ethanol in a solventβfree system catalyzed by lipase from __Thermomyces lanuginosus__. Central composite design and response surface methodology (RSM) were
Citronellol esterification catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase is performed with high yields (74%) in a solvent-free medium. The use of dessicants gives a 10% yield enhancement and substrate excess consumption by adding calculated amounts of acetic acid lead to a 80% pure citronellyl acetate. Qua
The direct, lipase-catalyzed esterifications of glycerol-3-phosphate in an organic solvent system and in a solvent free system were carried out. In a solvent free system only, LPA synthesis could be achieved within the acceptable reaction time. Open reaction system was preferable to closed reaction
