Jailani Roswanira Abdul Wahab, supervisor Science Also available in printed version Oleyl oleate is a substance exhibiting good fat soluble properties and wetting behavior at interfaces as well as being non-toxic. These favorable properties have resulted in oleyl oleate being commonplace in formulation of cosmetics, pharmaceutical products and lubricant industries. Nonetheless, the preferred chemical route to produce oleyl oleate uses high temperature that incidentally promote degradation of the esters as well as undesired side reactions. In this perspective, an alternative method using Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RML) immobilized onto activated chitosan-graphene oxide (CS-GO) has been proposed. The catalytic competency of the developed RML-CS-GO was evaluated against the free RML under a varying conditions of temperature, enzyme loading, molar ratio of alcohol to acid as well as half-life of the RML-CSGO for the solventless synthesis of oleyl oleate. Field Emission Scanning Microscopy (FESEM), Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Spectroscopy and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) revealed successful attachment of the RML onto the surface of CS-GOs. However, the results showed that lower concentrations of oleyl oleate were observed in reactions of RML-CSGO (47.3% at 40�C, 3mg/ml, molar ratio of (1:3, v/v) oleic acid and oleyl alcohol) compared to the free RML (91.3% at 30�C, 3mg/ml, molar ratio of (1:3, v/v) oleic acid and oleyl alcohol), respectively. Considering the lower yield of the ester attained in the RML-CSGO, revisions in protocols for matrix development and enzyme immobilization employed in this study may prove pertinent for developing catalytically enhanced and functional RML-CSGO fahmimoksen UTM 85 p.
