A simple synthesis of sugar fatty acid esters was developed in a nonaqueous solution using lipase modified by synthetic detergent. Esterification of sugar was accelerated by continuous removal of water from the reaction mixture with a molecular sieve. When glucose and palmitic acid (1:1 by mole) wer

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** The conversion of carboxylic esters to amides can be accomplished efficiently by enzymatic catalysis. Amidation of benzyl acetate with __n__‐butyl amine was studied in non‐aqueous media using immobilized lipases. **RESULTS:** The activities of immobilized lipases, Novoz
## Abstract Esterification of corn and sunflower acid oils with straight‐ and branched‐chain alcohols were conducted using lipase B from __Candida antarctica__ (Novozym 435) in __n__‐hexane. Sunflower acid oil consisted of 55.6% free fatty acids and 24.7% triacylglycerols, while the free fatty acid
