A highly selective enzyme-catalysed esterification of simple glucosides

Fredrik Björkling, Sven Erik Godtfredsen and Ole Kirk


Regioselective 6-O-esterification of alkyl glucosides with long chain fatty acids, yielding more than 95% of 6-O-monoesters, can be achieved using lipases as catalysts in a solvent-free process.
