De spelar en viktig roll i produkter som rengöringsmedel, kosmetika, läkemedel och mat såväl som i många industriella processer. Tensider används i mycket stor skala vilket gör det viktigt att minska deras påverkan på miljön. Det kan åstadkommas genom att använda naturprodukter som råvaror, genom att förbättra tillverkningsmetoderna och genom att minska användningen av begränsade resurser som energi och lösningsmedel. Den här avhandlingen behandlar lipaskatalyserad syntes av naturprodukts- baserade tensider. Den omfattar också studier av de framställda tensiderna; dels som antioxidanter i oljor, dels som tensider för att öka lösligheten av läkemedel. Omättade fettsyraestrar av askorbinsyra framställdes genom katalys med Candida antarctica lipas B i t-amylalkohol och i joniska vätskor. Höga utbyten av askorbyloleat erhölls i en jonisk vätska som formgivits för att öka lösligheten av fettsyran, när reaktionen kördes under vakuum. Vi fann att askorbyloleat är amorft och att det är en bättre antioxidant än askorbylpalmitat i rapsolja. Polyetylenglykol (PEG)-stearat, PEG -hydroxystearat och en rad PEG -acyloxy-stearater framställdes i en vakuumdriven och lösningsmedels- fri uppställning med lipas B från C. antarctica som katalysator. Kritisk micellbildningskoncentration (CMC) och solubiliseringsförmåga uppmättes för PEG -acyloxy-stearaterna. Deras effekter på levande celler utvärderades i studier av hemolys och ”transepithelial electrical resistance”. Flera av PEG -acyloxy-stearaterna var utmärka solubiliserare för farmaceutisk användning och hade försumbara negativa effekter på levande celler även vid höga koncentrationer. Enzymatiska och kemisk-enzymatiska metoder erbjuder unika möjligheter att framställa tensider av hög renhet. Rena och väldefinierade tensider möjlig- gör nya tillämpningar och är viktiga för förståelsen av förhållandet mellan tensiders struktur och deras funktion. Abstract Surfactants are molecules that contain a water-soluble and a fat-soluble part. ey have important functions in products such as detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and foods as well as in many industrial processes. Surfactants are used on very large scale, which makes it important to decrease their impact on the environment. is can be done by starting with natural materials, by improving the synthetic methods and by reducing the use of limited resources such as energy and organic solvents. is thesis focuses on lipase-catalyzed synthesis of surfactants based on natural products. It also includes functional studies of the produced surfac- tants; as antioxidants in oils, or as surfactants to solubilize pharmaceuticals. Unsaturated fatty acid esters of ascorbic acid were synthesized with cataly- sis by Candida antarctica lipase B in t-amyl alcohol and in ionic liquids. High yields of ascorbyl oleate were obtained in an ionic liquid that was designed to improve the solubility of the fatty acid, when the reaction was performed under vacuum. Ascorbyl oleate was amorphous and was a better antioxidant than ascorbyl palmitate in rapeseed oil. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) stearate, PEG -hydroxystearate and a series of PEG -acyloxy-stearates were synthesized in a vacuum-driven, solvent-free system using C. antarctica lipase B as catalyst. Critical micelle concentration and solubilization capacity were determined for the PEG -acyloxy-stea- rates. eir effects on living cells were evaluated in studies of hemolysis and transepithelial electrical resistance. Several PEG -acyloxy-stearates were excellent solubilizers for pharmaceutical use and had negligible negative effects on living cells even at high concentrations. Enzymatic and chemo-enzymatic methods offer unique possibilities to synthesize surfactants of high purity. Pure and well-defined surfactants en- able new applications and are important for the understanding of surfactant structure-function relationships.

Manuscript 8 9 Introduction e work presented in this thesis and the accompanying articles has been performed within the Centre for Surfactants based on Natural Products (SNAP, ). e main goals have been design, synthesis and functional studies of new surfactants. e surfactants have been targeted towards two specific applications: fat-soluble antioxidants and pharmaceutical solubilizers. e syntheses were performed using lipase catalysis. Fat-soluble antioxidants e fats and oils we use in food are mainly isolated from plants. ey naturally oxidize and become rancid upon storage. e oils contain molecules called antioxidants that protect the oil from oxidation. e natural antioxidants in oils mainly belong to the group tocopherols, which are more commonly called vitamin E. e interest in using special or highly refined oils in food is growing. Prod- ucts often contain nutritionally important, but sensitive, polyunsaturated fatty acids. ese include ω- fatty acids such as linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and ω- fatty acids such as linoleic acid (see the chapter on functional studies for structures). Polyunsatu- rated fatty acids are often present only in low concentrations in their natural sources. In the concentration process, natural antioxidants may be removed from the oil. To protect the oil from oxidation, rancid taste and destruction of essential fatty acids, antioxidants must be added. Vitamin C is an inexpensive and efficient natural antioxidant. Unfortu- nately, it is only soluble in water and cannot be directly used in oils. A com- mon way to make vitamin C more soluble in oils is to react it with a fatty acid to form an ascorbyl fatty acid ester. e only commercially used ascorbyl fatty acid ester today is ascorbyl palmitate. Ascorbyl palmitate is frequently used as an antioxidant for oils but is limited by a relatively low solubility. One way to increase the solubility of the ascorbyl fatty acid ester is to use ascorbyl oleate instead of ascorbyl palmitate. Ascorbyl oleate, as well as ascorbic acid and oleic 8 9 Introduction Introduction acid used for its production, are chemically sensitive compounds. is makes ascorbyl oleate difficult to produce with traditional chemical methods. By using enzymatic catalysis we have successfully produced ascorbyl oleate. We found that enzymatic synthesis in organic solvents is feasible and studied some of its limitations (Paper I). We also studied the activity of ascorbyl ole- ate as

  • Dr. Soumendu Bisoi Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry, Narajole Raj College
    Dr. Soumendu Bisoi Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry, Narajole Raj College Vitamin C Vitamin C, also named as L-ascorbic acid (Asc), is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for humans, non-human primates and a few other mammals. Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid; Asc) is a powerful antioxidant and essential human nutrient that has extensive industrial and medicinal applications resulting in global requirements estimated at 154 thousand tons in 2007. The discovery of Asc is related with the disease of scurvy. Scurvy was a common disease in the world’s navies and sailors until the beginning of the nineteenth century, with serious symptoms such as bleeding of mucous membranes, anaemia and eventually death. In 1928, Albert Szent-Gyørgyi first isolated the Asc from adrenal glands and called it hexuronic acid. Four years later, Charles Glen King isolated Asc in his laboratory and concluded that it was the same as hexuronic acid. In 1933, Norman Haworth deduced the chemical structure of Asc (Figure 1). Figure 1 Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid). Between 1933 and 1934, not only Haworth and fellow British chemist Edmund Hirsthad synthesised Asc, but also, independently, the Polish chemist Tadeus Reichstein, succeeded in synthesising the vitamin in bulk, making it the first vitamin to be artificially produced. The latter process made possible the cheap mass-production of semi-synthetic Asc, which was quickly marketed. Haworth was awarded the 1937 Nobel Prize in Chemistry in part for this work, but the Reichstein process, a combined chemical and bacterial fermentation sequence still used today to produce vitamin C, retained Reichstein’s name.

The industrial development of biodiesel production and the use of biodiesel in the EU transport sector have been ongoing for almost two decades. Compared to mineral diesel production, the process of producing biodiesel is quite complex and expensive, and the search for new raw materials and advanced technologies is needed to maintain production value and expand the industrial production of biodiesel. The purpose of this article is to review the application possibilities of one of the new technologies—simultaneous extraction of oil from oily feedstock and transesterification (in situ)—and to evaluate the effectiveness of the abovementioned process under various conditions. Keywords: biodiesel; in situ; simultaneous oil extraction and transesterification 1. Introduction With the increase in atmospheric pollution in the form of greenhouse gases, the development of the use of biofuels in the transport sector is receiving increasing attention. Biodiesel is a well-known type of biofuel that has been used for a relatively long time. It is produced from various oily raw materials. Recently, the possibilities of utilizing non-food raw materials and residual waste in the synthesis of biodiesel have been intensively studied.

The spectra for glycerol-castor oil fatty acid ester and glycerol-oleic acid absorption peak at wave number 1735.37 cm-1 and 1748.25 cm-1 respectively, which indicate the existence of C=O ester groups. Conversion percentage in esterification was conducted using titrimetric method. The highest conversion percentage was reached at the molar ratio 1:4 with the value of 92.4% respectively for glycerol-castor oil fatty acid and 86.2% for glycerol oleic ester. Emulsifier test was performed to observe the stability and the type of emulsion, using ester product as emulsifier. The properties of the emulsifier in both esters are obtained by type of water in oil. Antimicrobial assay were also conducted for both esterification product using disc diffusion method against Propionibacterium acne and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The antimicrobial assay showed that glycerol- castor oil fatty acid esters has antimicrobial activity, but glycerol-oleic esters did not show the antimicrobial activity.
