Abstract:With simultaneous enzyme releasing and lipoxygenation, the catalytic performance of soymeal to catalyze the hydroperoxidation reaction was evaluated, using ethyl linoleate as the substrate. The influences of various parameters relating to the hydroperoxide yield, including pH, temperature, dosage of soymeal and ethyl linoleate were investigated. The optimal conditions for ethyl linoleate were 1.5 g ethyl linoleate in 7.5 mL phosphate buffer solution of pH 6 with 0.45 mL ethanol as co-solvent reacting for 2 h at 15 oC, and the yield reached 55%, which is much higher than the previously reported(15%). Soymeal has much better catalytic performance than LOX solution. The application of soymeal not only reduces the number of steps by coupling extraction of LOX and oxidation reaction, but also increased the total yield.
