Ferulic acid (FA), 4-hydroxyl-3-methoxy-2-benzylacrylic acid, has antioxidant, anticancer and ultraviolet absorption activities. However, the low hydrophilicity of FA has limited its application. Glyceryl ferulate (FG), which is an all-natural hydrophilic derivative of FA, can be used as an antioxidant and UV filter in food and cosmetic formulations. However, the applications of FG in these fields are limited due to its low content in nature. In this work, free liquid lipase was firstly used as a catalyst for FG preparation. Several different free liquid lipases (Candida antartica lipase-B, Candida antartica lipase-A, Thermomyces lanuginosus (Lipozyme TL 100L)) were screened and compared. The effects of the transesterification parameters (time, temperature, enzyme load and substrate ratio) were optimized and evaluated by response surface methodology. A reaction thermodynamic investigation was also performed. The results showed that, among the tested free lipases, the maximum FG yield (84.8±1.5%) was achieved using free Candida antartica lipase-B. Under the optimized conditions (an atmospheric system, an enzyme load of 11.1% and a 20:1 molar ratio of glycerol to EF at 70°C for 39.5 h), the FG yield and EF conversion were 84.8±1.5% and 95.7±1.2%, respectively. The activation energies of FG formation and EF conversion were 56.4 and 58.0kJ/mol, respectively.
