Abstract
Organic compounds susceptible to hydrolysis are prepared by reaction in a water-immiscible organic liquid in contact with an enzyme activated with water to catalyze the reaction and desiccant means to lower the water activity of the dispersion from which the reaction products are recovered. The enzyme may be a lipase to catalyze an interesterification process and the desiccant means may be immersed in the dispersion to remove water in the liquid phase or in the headspace above the dispersion to remove water vapor.
