L-ascorbyl acetate was synthesized through lipase-catalyzed esterification using Lipozyme TLIM and Novozym 435. Four solvents, including methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, and acetone were investigated for the reaction, and acetone and acetonitrile were found to be suitable reaction media. The influences of several parameters such as water activity (a w), substrate molar ratio, enzyme loading, and reaction temperature on esterification of L-ascorbic acid were systematically and quantitatively analyzed. Through optimizing the reaction, lipase-catalyzed esterification of L-ascorbic acid gave a maximum conversion of 99%. The results from using Lipozyme TLIM and Novozym 435 as biocatalysts both showed that a w was an important factor for the conversion of L-ascorbic acid. The effect of pH value on lipase-catalyzed L-ascorbic acid esterification in acetone was also investigated. Furthermore, results from a kinetic characterization of Lipozyme TLIM were compared with those for Novozym 435, and suggested that the maximum reaction rate for Lipozyme TLIM was greater than that for Novozym 435, while the enzyme affinity for substrate was greater for Novozym 436.
