Description

1-Methyl-2-phenylethyl acetate (1MPEA) is a lipase that is a white solid with a hydrophilic nature. It has been used as an organic solvent in the synthesis of styrene, which is an important industrial chemical. 1MPEA has shown to be functional for catalysis, with kinetic data obtained at high temperature and pressure conditions. The enzyme has been found to have a low affinity for substrates containing chlorine and oxidation resistance properties, making it suitable for use in organic solvents such as methyl ketones or amides. 1MPEA shows good tolerance to pH changes, alkalinity, and oxidizing agents, making it suitable for use in the food industry.
