Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An alcohol fermentation process and composition that includes production of alcohol esters by esterification of product alcohol in a fermentation medium with a carboxylic acid (e.g., fatty acid) and a catalyst (e.g., lipase) capable of esterifying the product alcohol, such as butanol, with the carboxylic acid to form the alcohol esters. The alcohol esters can be extracted from the fermentation medium, and the product alcohol recovered from the alcohol esters. The carboxylic acid can also serve as an extractant for removal of the alcohol esters from the fermentation medium.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing butyl esters comprising: contacting butanol produced in a fermentation process with at least one exogenous carboxylic acid and at least one extracellular enzyme capable of esterifying the carboxylic acid with the butanol to form butyl esters of the carboxylic acid; wherein the carboxylic acid in the fermentation process is present at a concentration sufficient to produce a two-phase mixture. 2. A method comprisi…
