There are various reports in the literature concerning kinetic studies of the Upase-catalyzed hydrolysis or synthesis of esters in microemulsions [8,9,49,83,84]. A simple MichaeUs-Menten kinetic model was proposed for the hydrolysis of triglycerides [85,86], while the esterifications of aliphatic alcohols with fatty acids follow a ping-pong bi-bi mechanism [87]. According to this mechanism the lipase reacts with the fatty acid to form a noncovalent enzyme-fatty acid complex, which is then transformed to an acyl-enzyme intermediate, while water, the first product, is released this is followed by a nucleophile attack (by the alcoholic substrate) to form another binary complex that finally yields the ester and the free enzyme. The kinetic parameters and determined in these studies represent apparent...
