Abstract: The catalytic activity of candida rugosa lipase has been investigated in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT)/Triton X-100 mixed reverse micellar systemby using castor oil as substrate. The effects of molar fraction of Triton X-100 in total surfactants, molar ratio of water to total surfactants, reaction temperature, pH and the concentration of castor oil on enzyme activity were studied when the concentration of overall surfactant was kept constant. Significant increase of the activity of candida rugosa lipase was observed in the presence of Triton X-100. It was also found that the castor oil inhibited the reaction when its concentration was higher than 0.24 mol·L-1.

Key words: Mixed reverse micelles, Candida rugosa lipase, Castor oil, AOT, Triton X-100
