PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

BIOCATALYST CAL B is a recombinant engineered enzyme of Candida antarctica lipase expressed in the yeast Pichia pastoris. CAL B is an extremely versatile and widely used biocatalyst in various industries such as the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. It exhibits high substrate specificity as well as high regio- and enantioselectivity. CAL B is widely used in (dynamic) kinetic resolution of racemates for the synthesis of chiral compounds. The product type BIOCATALYST CAL B 10 L is supplied as an enzyme concentrate formulated with buffer and approved preservatives. The appearance of CAL B 10 L is a yellow-green to green liquid. The enzyme activity is at least 10'000 TBU/mL (tributyrin hydrolysis).

Extensive and detailed documentation is available.

ADVANTAGES OF OUR CAL B:

  • High enzymatic activity

  • High stability

  • Longer enzymatic activity

Some of the most common applications of CAL B are:

Enzymatic resolution of racemates:

Due to its high enantioselectivity, CAL B can be used in kinetic or dynamic kinetic resolution of racemates, where it selectively catalyzes the reaction of an enantiomer and thus enables the separation of chiral compounds. Typical reactions are esterification, transesterification, hydrolysis and amidation.

Pharmaceutical synthesis:

CAL B is used in pharmaceutical synthesis to produce chiral compounds with high enantioselectivity. It enables the efficient synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with specific stereospecificity.

Production of flavors and fragrances:

CAL B can be used in the synthesis of esters that contribute to the flavors and fragrances of various products, including food, beverages and cosmetics.

Production of specialty chemicals:

CAL B is used in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, including fine chemicals and intermediates used in various industrial processes.

Production of omega-3 fatty acids:

CAL B can be used in the production of omega-3 fatty acids in the esterification of free omega-3 acids or in transesterification reactions.

Biodiesel production:

CAL B can usually be used as a catalyst in the production of biodiesel. It facilitates the transesterification reaction in which vegetable oils or animal fats are converted into fatty acid methyl ester (biodiesel) and glycerol.
