Evaluates lipase efficiency in phytosterol synthesis using nanospaced microspheres, indicating promising industrial applications.
(1.57-fold higher than the free enzyme) with 88.2% recovered activity. Crucially, in the sterically demanding esterification of phytosterols, the biocatalyst achieved 84.33% maximum conversion at 50 °C within 40 h. Furthermore, the rigid silica walls exerted a spatial "cage effect" that locked the enzyme active conformation, conferring exceptional thermal stability and reusability. This hierarchical support design offers a robust solution for macromolecular industrial biocatalysis.
