The authors have developed a continuous recycle reactor which efficiently performs emulsion type enzymatic reactions. The reactor column is filled with immobilised lipase and the reactions are effected by pumping the pre-prepared oil-water emulsion through the bottom of the reactor. A part of the pr

β¦ Synopsis
The immobilization of lipase from Candida lipolytica on alumina by adsorption for the hydrolysis of ricebran oil is described. Some of the factors which influence the activity of immobilizate and the stability of immobilizate are discussed. About 69% of the initially added enzyme activity is found in the biocatalyst when immobilized at pH 7.2. The stability of the immobilized enzyme to different pH and temperature conditions has also been studied.

A recycling fluidised-bed immobilised enzyme reactor for the hydrolysis of ricebran oil employing an inexpensive Nylon-6 matrix as the immobilisation carrier is described. The catalyst has high initial activity and excellent long term stability. The reactor design exploits the fact that fluidisation
