Esters of fatty acids and alcohols are used in the food, beverage, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as flavor and fragrance compounds. Applied Separations has recently synthesized fatty acid esters using an immobilized lipase in a carbon dioxide medium without the use of toxic organic solvents. Various esters have been synthesized using the “green” supercritical process including citronellol laurate, isoamyl acetate, and octyl oleate.
