ENZYMATIC METHOD FOR PRODUCING FATTY ACID BORNYL ESTER

摘要

The present invention provides an enzymatic method for producing a fatty acid bornyl ester including using borneol and a fatty acid as a substrate for reaction and adding a lipase in a solvent system or a solvent-free system to catalyze the esterification reaction for a period of time to obtain fatty acid bornyl ester. The present method preferably uses fatty acids or their derivatives as acyl donors to prepare fatty acid bornyl esters. By utilizing the characteristics of the substrate, the synthesis process is simple; the reaction efficiency is high; and the content of fatty acid bornyl ester is up to 97%.
