The Immobilized Lipases in Biodiesel Production
Margarita Stoytcheva,Gisela Montero,Lydia Toscano,Velizar Gochev,Benjamin Valdez +4 more
- 09 Nov 2011
TL;DR: The enzymatic process enables eliminating the drawbacks of the alkalior acid-catalyzed transesterification, namely: product contamination, wastewater release, free fatty acids and water interferences, and difficult glycerol recovery.
Enhanced production of extracellular lipase by novel mutant strain of aspergillus niger
TL;DR: The most active lipase producing strain A. niger was selected for strain improvement by induced mutagenesis with UV light and N-methyl-N-nitro- N-nitrosoguanidine (NMG) and found to be more effective in comparison to the physical one.
Production and Partial Characterization of Extracellular Lipase from Trichoderma Harzianum by Solid-State Fermentation
Lydia Toscano,Gisela Montero,Lourdes Cervantes,Margarita Stoytcheva,Velizar Gochev,Miguel Beltrán +5 more
TL;DR: This work investigates lipase production by a local strain Trichoderma harzianum in solid-state fermentation (SSF), using wheat bran as a solid substrate, and compares thislipase production with submerged fermentation (SmF) using a mineral culture medium.
Preliminary assessment of biodiesel generation from meat industry residues in Baja California, Mexico.
TL;DR: In this paper, a regional inventory of the available fat in the meat industry, as well as the estimation of the potential biodiesel potential production demonstrated that the biodiesel generated from animal fat, combined with diesel from oil in a 2% biodiesel blend could power 25% of the trucks and passenger vehicles registered in 2007 in Baja California, Mexico.

Comparison of the performances of four hydrophilic polymers as supports for lipase immobilisation
TL;DR: Immobilised lipase encapsulated in chitosan-coated Ca-alginate beads demonstrated better pH, thermal, and storage stabilities and could be considered as a suitable support for lipase immobilisation.
