Synthesis of Oil Palm Mesocarp Lipase Biocatalyst Immobilized on Zeolite for Enzymatic Biodiesel Production from Waste Cooking Oil
Waste cooking oil (WCO) is an abundant and inexpensive feedstock for biodiesel production, but conventional homogeneous acid or base catalysts are prone to saponification and are difficult to separate from the reaction product. Enzymatic catalysis using lipase provides a milder and more selective alternative. This stud...
