In this study, nanocellulose (NC) was successfully extracted from oil palm frond leaves (OPFL) using a combination of bleaching, alkaline treatment and acid hydrolysis. X-ray diffractogram revealed the extracted NC was crystalline with a crystallinity index of 70.2%. This indicates its suitability as nano-fillers for preparing the chitosan/nanocellulose (CS-NC) supports to immobilize Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) to produce the CRL/CS-NC biocatalysts. FTIR, FESEM and TGA characterizations of the CRL/CS-NC confirm the CRLs were successfully conjugated to the CS-NC supports. The air-dried CS-NC supports gave satisfactory immobilization of the CRLs (5.2mg/g) with the resultant CRL/CS-NCs catalysed conversions of ≥80% of butyl butyrate within 6h. Time course reaction profile revealed that 76.3% butyl butyrate conversion was achieved at 4h immobilization time using 3mg/mL of CRL/CS-NCs. NMR analyses on the purified butyl butyrate confirmed that the ester was successfully synthesized.
在这项研究中,成功地从油棕叶片(OPFL)中提取出纳米纤维素(NC),方法是结合漂白、碱性处理和酸水解。X 射线衍射图显示,提取的 NC 是结晶的,结晶度指数为 70.2%。这表明它适合用作纳米填充剂,用于制备壳聚糖/纳米纤维素(CS-NC)载体,以固定 Candida rugosa 脂肪酶(CRL),从而生产 CRL/CS-NC 生物催化剂。CRL/CS-NC 的 FTIR、FESEM 和 TGA 表征证实了 CRL 成功地结合到 CS-NC 载体上。空气干燥的 CS-NC 载体对 CRL 的固定化效果令人满意(5.2mg/g),所得 CRL/CS-NC 在 6 小时内催化丁酸丁酯的转化率≥80%。时程反应曲线显示,在 4 小时的固定化时间内,使用 3mg/mL 的 CRL/CS-NC 可实现 76.3%的丁酸丁酯转化率。对纯化的丁酸丁酯的 NMR 分析证实了酯的成功合成。
