Description

Application

• Purification, characterization, and chemical modification of Bacillus velezensis SN-14 fibrinolytic enzyme.: This study delves into the biochemistry of a fibrinolytic enzyme derived from Bacillus velezensis, detailing how hexyl alcohol is used in its purification process. This enzyme holds potential therapeutic applications for improving blood flow and preventing clot-related diseases (Lu et al., 2021).


• Enhancing Activity by Supercritical CO₂ Mediated Immobilization of Lipase on Mesocellular Foam in Preparation of Hexyl Laurate.: This research demonstrates the use of hexyl alcohol in enzymatic reactions facilitated by supercritical CO₂. It underscores the potential of hexyl alcohol in biotechnological applications, particularly in enzyme immobilization for industrial synthesis (Yadav & Varghese, 2020).
