Production of highly enantio selective (-)-menthyl butyrate using Candida rugosa lipase immobilized on epoxy-activated supports

Optically active (-)-menthyl butyrate was synthesized by enantioselective esterification of racemic (+/-)-menthol and butyric anhydride using lipase from Candida rugosa immobilized onto epoxy-activated supports of Eupergit C and Eupergit C 250 L through physical adsorption method. The effects of var...
