Enzymatic Synthesis of Astaxanthin n-Octanoic Acid Esters
Journal of Oleo Science, 2008 We examined the enzymatic synthesis of astaxanthin n-octanoic acid esters. Carriers for the immobilized enzyme and reaction conditions such as water content, reaction temperature, and time were examined using Candida cylindracea lipase (Lipase OF). Lipase OF) immobilized by a hydrophobic anion exchange resin (10% w/w content of lipase) gave the best ...
