CHEMSUSCHEM 2023; 16:e202300615. [PMID: 37423894 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202300615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
In this work, three deep eutectic mixtures (DES 1: choline chloride/urea; DES 2: choline chloride/glycerol; and DES 3: tetrabutylammonium bromide/imidazole) were investigated as mediums for the synthesis of glucose laurate and glucose acetate. Aiming to achieve a greener and more sustainable approach, the synthesis reactions were catalyzed by lipases from Aspergillus oryzae (LAO), Candida rugosa (LCR), and porcine pancreas (LPP). The hydrolytic activity of lipases against p-nitrophenyl hexanoate revealed no evidence of enzyme inactivation when DES were used as medium. Regarding the transesterification reactions, combining LAO or LCR with DES 3 resulted in the efficient production of glucose laurate (from glucose and vinyl laurate) (conversion >60 %). The best result for LPP was observed in DES 2, with 98 % of product production after 24 hours of reaction. When replacing vinyl laurate by a smaller hydrophilic substrate, vinyl acetate, a distinct behavior was observed. LCR and LPP performed better in DES 1, yielding more than 80 % of glucose acetate after 48 hours of reaction. The catalytic activity of LAO was less pronounced, reaching only nearly 40 % of product in DES 3. The results highlight the potential of combining biocatalysis with greener and environmentally-safer solvents, for the synthesis of differentiated chain-length sugar fatty acid esters (SFAE).

Development of 3D Printed Enzymatic Microreactors for Lipase-Catalyzed Reactions in Deep Eutectic Solvent-Based Media. MICROMACHINES 2022; 13:mi13111954.

Abstract
In this study, 3D printing technology was exploited for the development of immobilized enzyme microreactors that could be used for biocatalytic processes in Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES)-based media. 3D-printed polylactic acid (PLA) microwell plates or tubular microfluidic reactors were modified with polyethylenimine (PEI) and lipase from Candida antarctica (CALB) was covalently immobilized in the interior of each structure. DESs were found to have a negligible effect on the activity and stability of CALB, and the system proved highly stable and reusable in the presence of DESs for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl butyrate (p-NPB). A kinetic study under flow conditions revealed an enhancement of substrate accessibility in the presence of Betaine: Glycerol (Bet:Gly) DES, while the system was not severely affected by diffusion limitations. Incubation of microreactors in 100% Bet:Gly preserved the enzyme activity by 53% for 30 days of storage at 60 °C, while the buffer-stored sample had already been deactivated. The microfluidic enzyme reactor was efficiently used for the trans-esterification of ethyl ferulate (EF) with glycerol towards the production of glyceryl ferulate (GF), known for its antioxidant potential. The biocatalytic process under continuous flow conditions exhibited 23 times higher productivity than the batch reaction system. This study featured an effective and robust biocatalytic system with immobilized lipase that can be used both in hydrolytic and synthetic applications, while further optimization is expected to upgrade the microreactor system performance.

Abstract
Due to their splendid advantages, deep eutectic solvents have attracted high attention and are considered as analogues of ionic liquids. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are homogeneous mixtures formed by two or three green and cheap components through hydrogen bond, which is divided into hydrogen bond acceptors (HBA) and hydrogen bond donors (HBD). Recently, Betaine has been widely used as a hydrogen bond acceptor. In this work, four DESs were synthesized by blending betaine as HBA and 1,2-propanediol as HBD in four molar ratios (1:3.5, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6). Then, the physical properties of these DESs were measured. The density values were measured within the temperature range (293.15 K to 363.15 K) at atmospheric pressure, whereas the surface tension and viscosity data were determined in four and seven temperatures between 293.15 K and 353.15 K. The relationship between the density and surface tension with temperature have been analyzed and have been fitted as a linear function. The commonly used Arrhenius model was used to describe the dependence between viscosity and temperature. The results of this study are important not only for the DESs’ industrial applications but also for the research on their synthesis mechanism and microstructure.
