The optimum temperature for the immobilized enzyme (50-55 degrees C) was 19 degrees C higher than for the free enzyme. Thermal, operational, and storage stability were determined with n-butanol and butyric acid, giving at 45 degrees C a half-life 2.7 times greater for the immobilized enzyme; storage time was 21 d at room temperature. For ester synthesis, the optimum temperature was 47 degrees C, and high esterification conversions were obtained under repeated batch cycles (half-life of 138 h). 收起
