Fabrication of Rhizomucormiehei lipase reinforced nanobioconjugates as biocatalysts for a statistically optimized production of eugenol benzoate

Fatin Myra Abd Manan, Roswanira Abdul Wahab

Abstract


The chemical synthesis ofeugenol benzoate is associated with numerous environmentally unfavorable practices viz. the use toxic chemicals, tedious separation process and liberation of harmful by-products. On this standpoint, an alternative approach utilizing Rhizomucormieheilipase (RML) immobilized onto activated chitosan-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (RML/CS/MWCNTs) is suggested. The properties of the biocatalyst were characterized using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM)and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Response surface methodology employing central composite design (CCD) based on four relevant parameters (incubation time, temperature, substrate molar ratio, and enzyme loading) was used to optimize the experimental conditions for the enzymatic synthesis to produce eugenol benzoate. The study found the high conversion of eugenol benzoate is greatly affected by temperature and incubation time. The highest yield of eugenol benzoate was 56.13 %, under optimized conditions of 60 °C, incubation time of 6 hr, enzyme loading of 150 IU and molar ratio of eugenol/benzoic acid of 4:1. The findings suggest that the RML/CS/MWCNTs biocatalyst developed here is a promising alternative to overcome shortcomings associated with the chemically produced esters.
