Abstract
Lipase-catalysed esterification produces fatty acid esters, some of which are used as surfactants in foods. A detailed kinetic study was conducted to investigate the porcine pancreatic lipase-catalysed esterification reactions of p-cresol and acetic acid (in a solvent-free system) and lactic acid and stearic acid (in ethylmethyl ketone). Enzyme kinetic data were in agreement with a Ping Pong Bi-Bi mechanism, where inhibition is indicated by the presence of p-cresol and lactic acid in the respective reactions. Mathematical analyses of experimentally observed initial rates yielded parameters with the following values: Km = 0.1, 0.54, 0.059M and 0.04M for p-cresol, acetic acid, lactic acid and stearic acid, respectively; Vmax = 13.2/h and 0.00163M/h for p-cresol-acetic acid and lactic acid-stearic acid, respectively; and Ki = 0.59 and 0.079M for p-cresol and lactic acid, respectively. Km and Ki values of p-cresol and lactic acid observed in respective reactions showed both the competitive nature of binding between the substrates p-cresol and acetic acid, and lactic acid and stearic acid, and the inhibitory nature of p-cresol and lactic acid.
