Abstract: The kinetics of the esterification of lauric acid and 1 pentanol catalyzed by Calytical (CL) lipase, was studied in water/bis (2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate sodium(AOT)/isooctane microemulsions. The kinetics studies showed that the reaction followed a Ping Pong Bi-Bi mechanism. The values of all apparent kinetic parameters were determined. The apparent kinetic parameters of the reaction were found to be km(lauric acid)=013518 mol/L, km(1 pentanol)=022423 mol/Land vmax=13873×10-5 mol/(L·min·mg). Lipase has also been immobilized in gelatin containing AOT-microemulsion based organogels(MBGs). These lipase containing MBGs prove to be a novel solid-phase catalysts for the use in apolar organic solvents and have a good physical stability. These lipase containing MBGs retained its higher activity after 10 runs esterification reactions.
