| Summary: | Enzymes are important contributors to the current industrial development as they activate
the reactions through enormous pathways. In recent years, ionic liquids (ILs) have
become qualified media for clean extraction, photochemistry, green processing, electrosynthesis,
and pharmaceutical applications. Although many enzymes have been studied in
ILs media, lipases showed exceptional stability, selectivity and production yields. This
chapter briefly outlines some merit as well as the downsides of current ILs applications in
lipases reactions including the production of biodiesel, esterification and other
established applications. |
