摘要： Ethyl butyrate is a typical flavor ester with pineapple-banana scents, but the poor yield from natural fruits limits its feasibility in food and fragrance industries. In this study, dendritic fibrous nano-silica (DFNS) was hydrophobically modified with octyl groups (DFNS-C8) to immobilize Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) for solvent-free esterification of ethyl butyrate. The immobilized lipase CALB@DFNS-C8, with the enzyme loading of 354.6 mg/g and the enzyme activity of 0.064 U/mg protein, achieved 96.0% ethyl butyrate conversion under the optimum reaction conditions where the molar ratio of butyric acid to ethanol was 1:3, with a reaction temperature and time of 40 °C and 4 h. Under the solvent-free catalytic reactions, CALB@DFNS-C8 presented the maximum catalytic efficiency of 35.1 mmol/g/h and retained 89% initial activity after ten reuse cycles. In addition, the immobilized lipase can efficiently catalyze the synthesis of various flavor esters (such as butyl acetate, hexyl acetate, butyl butyrate, etc.) and exhibits excellent thermostability and solvent tolerance. A molecular docking simulation reveals that the hydrophobic cavity around the catalytic triad stabilizes the acyl intermediate and ensures the precise orientation of both acid and alcohol substrates. This work provides new insights into the sustainable production of flavor esters using highly active and recyclable immobilized lipases through rational carrier hydrophobization and structural confinement design.
