## Abstract The enzymatic hydrolysis of a mixture of lutein diesters from Marigold flower (__Tagetes erecta__) was performed both in organic solvents and supercritical CO~2~ (SCβCO~2~) using two commercial lipases: lipase B from __Candida antarctica__ (Novozym 435) and the lipase from __Mucor miehe
This paper describes a newly developed technique to adjust and control the water activity in enzymatic reactions in organic media. A saturated salt solution of known water activity is circulated inside a silicone tube, submerged into the reaction medium. The circulating solution can both absorb and

## Abstract Many industrially important reactions use immobilized enzymes in nonβaqueous, organic systems, particularly for the production of chiral compounds such as pharmaceutical precursors. The addition of a spacer molecule (βtetherβ) between a supporting surface and enzyme often substantially
