The enzymatic production of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) and xylose fatty acid esters (XFAEs) from soybean oil deodorizer distillate (SODD) was investigated using a hydroesterification strategy. SODD was enzymatically hydrolyzed, and the glycerol-free fraction was esterified with either xylose or ethanol. Free lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens (PFL) yielded 84 wt% of free fatty acids (FFAs) production (with approximately 15% FFAs remaining as glycerides) after 48 h, using a SODD-to-water mass ratio of 1:4 and an enzyme loading of 5 wt% (based on oil mass). In the synthesis of FAEEs, free Eversa Transform converted approximately 82% of the FFAs into FAEEs after 48 h, using an ethanol-to-FFA molar ratio of 3.64:1 and an enzyme loading of 8.36% (w/v). For the synthesis of XFAEs, commercially immobilized lipases from Thermomyces lanuginosus (TLL-T2-150) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (IMMAPF-T2-150) were employed. These commercial lipase preparations are available in their immobilized form on Immobead T2-150. TLL-T2-150 resulted in a lower degree of xylose ester formation (80.20%) compared to IMMAPF-T2-150 (89.20%) after 24 h, using an FFA-to-xylose molar ratio of 5 in ethyl-methyl-ketone (xylose concentration of 7 mmol L-1) and an enzyme loading of 0.5% (w/v). However, TLL-T2-150 consumed more FFAs, suggesting a higher degree of xylose esterification. The final reaction mixture containing XFAEs obtained with this biocatalyst exhibited suitable emulsifying properties. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) revealed that the enzymatic hydroesterification process offers a sustainable route for FAEEs and XFAEs production, with configurations using free PFL in hydrolysis and IMMAPF-T2-150 in esterification showing the lowest environmental impacts due to higher catalytic efficiency. The findings point to a clear environmental edge in using SODD for ester production, offering a cleaner alternative to standard methods and making better use of a renewable resource. (AU) | |
