OLEOZYM™
ET 420

Industrial Lipase for Esterification / Transesterification
Best For Oleochemical and specialty chemical plants requiring better selectivity and conversion control in esterification/transesterification processes.

GEPZYMES OLEOZYM™ ET 420 is an industrial lipase solution developed for esterification and transesterification applications in oils, fats, and oleochemical processing. It supports manufacturers looking for selective catalytic routes and controlled conversion behavior for specialty esters and fat-derived products.

Applications:

Benefits

  • Better selectivity (application-dependent)
  • Controlled conversion pathways
  • Milder catalytic route support
  • Potential quality benefits in specialty products
  • Custom trial and process optimization support
  • Supports esterification/transesterification process catalysis
  • Assists selective conversion programs
  • Helps improve process control in suitable systems
  • Supports reduced dependence on harsh catalysts in selected applications

What It Does

  • Define substrate system and target ester/product
  • Run lab kinetics and selectivity screening
  • Optimize dosage, moisture, and temperature
  • Validate purification and product quality

The enzyme catalyzes ester bond formation/exchange reactions under defined operating conditions. Process response depends on substrates, water activity, temperature, and reaction setup.

FAQ – GEPZYMES OLEOZYM™ ET 420

What is GEPZYMES OLEOZYM™ ET 420 used for?

GEPZYMES OLEOZYM™ ET 420 is an industrial lipase solution designed for esterification and transesterification applications in oils, fats, and oleochemical processing. It is used where better selectivity and controlled conversion are important.

It can be evaluated by oleochemical manufacturers, specialty chemical plants, and processors working on fat-derived esters or specialty lipid modifications.

OLEOZYM™ ET 420 is positioned for challenges such as:

  • Inconsistent conversion efficiency
  • Poor selectivity in target reaction
  • Dependence on harsher catalytic routes
  • Product quality variation in specialty esters
  • Need for better process control

It provides lipase activity that supports ester bond formation or ester exchange reactions under controlled process conditions. Performance depends on the substrate system, water activity/moisture, temperature, and reaction setup.

It can be evaluated on selected fatty acids, oils/fats, and alcohol-based substrate systems depending on the target ester/product and process route. Final suitability should be confirmed through trials.

Yes. Lab and pilot trials are strongly recommended to optimize dosage, reaction conditions, conversion target, and product quality before scale-up.

Please share your substrates (oil/fat/fatty acid/alcohol), target product, current process route, operating conditions, and key challenge. This helps us recommend a suitable trial plan, dosage window, and evaluation parameters.
