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).
