This study reports the maximization of geranyl oleate production by esterification of geraniol and oleic acid in a solvent-free system using a commercial lipase as catalyst. The operating conditions that maximized geranyl oleate production were determined to be 40 °C, geraniol to oleic acid molar ratio of 5:1, 150 rpm and 10 wt% of enzyme, with a resulting reaction conversion of about 93%. After determining the best reaction parameters, a kinetic study was performed and the results obtained in this step allow to conclude that an excess of alcohol (alcohol to acid molar ratio of 5:1), relatively low enzyme concentration (5 wt%) and temperature of 50 °C afforded nearly complete reaction conversion after 1 h of reaction. New experimental data on enzymatic esterification of geraniol and oleic acid for geranyl oleate production are reported in this work, showing a promising perspective of the technique to overcome the inconvenience of the chemical-catalyzed route.
