The best enzyme was used to optimize the reaction variables temperature, enzyme content, and molar ratio of water:oil in batch reactions using experimental planning. The ideal conditions to produce free fatty acids using pure RML were 45 °C, 12:1 substrate molar ratio, and 15% enzyme, resulting in 66% of oil hydrolysis and a productivity of 0.54 mol L-1 min-1 in 4 h of reaction at 180 rpm. Repeated batches of reaction were performed testing the operational stability of RML, results showing that this enzyme could be used for at least 20 cycles keeping more than 80% of its initial activity, suggesting its potential use in industrial processes. The synthesis of free fatty acids was then evaluated in continuous reactions using packed-bed reactor (PBR). The highest productivity in the continuous process was 6.85 mol L-1 min-1, using only RML, showing an operational stability higher than 80% of its initial conversion capacity after 11 days of operation, at a flow rate of 0.13 mL min-1 at 45 °C. We evaluated the use of this h...
