The present study investigated the direct esterification <strong>of</strong> isoamyl alcohol with acetic acid, in n-hexane, using<br />

a non-commercial Celite-immobilized A. <strong>mediterranei</strong> <strong>lipase</strong>. The selection <strong>of</strong> various reaction parameters<br />

that maximize equilibrium conversion yield at relatively low enzyme concentration was studied in detail.<br />

Optimized conditions for the synthesis <strong>of</strong> isoamyl acetate were 7.5% (w/v) <strong>of</strong> Celite-immobilized <strong>lipase</strong>, an<br />

acid/alcohol molar ratio <strong>of</strong> 2 with an initial addition <strong>of</strong> 1% (v/v) water at 50 °C and 200 rpm. Under these<br />

conditions the equilibrium conversion yield obtained was 59% in 12 h. A simplified model, based on a<br />

postulated Ping Pong Bi Bi mechanism, adequately described the kinetics <strong>of</strong> Celite-immobilized <strong>lipase</strong><br />

catalyzed direct esterification <strong>of</strong> isoamyl alcohol with acetic acid.<br />
