The role of reversed micelles in the manufacture of fine chemicals with enzymes also needs to be assessed and analysed. An outstanding example is lipase catalysed interesterification to produce cocoa butter substitute from readily available cheap materials (Luisi, 1985). This example of reversed micelles is sometimes referred to as a colloidal solution of water in organic systems. A number of water insoluble alkaloids, prostanoids, and steroids have been subjected to useful transformations (Martinek et al., 1987). Peptide synthesis has also been conducted. The advantages of two liquid phases are retained to a very great extent the amount of water can be manipulated to gain advantages from an equilibrium viewpoint.
