Esterification and In silico analysis of lipase catalyzed synthesis of flavour ester

Flavour esters can be made artificially from the reaction between alcohols and carboxylic acids and this reaction is called esterification. Flavour refers to the combination of taste, touch and smell. Eighty percent (80%) of taste comes from smell. Esters have the ability to produce artificial fruit...
