Abstract

Lipases from Candida rugosa, Pseudomonas cepacia, and Candida antarctica-B (Novozym-435) were used for the transesterification of crude Pongamia oil with methanol. The Candida antarctica lipase-B catalyzed transesterification gave 91% conversion in 60 h during the stepwise addition of methanol to crude Pongamia oil.
