Abstract

A method of resolving glycidyl esters to high enantiomeric excess involves fractionation of hydrolytic enzymes (e.g. lipases) to prepare biocatalysts with high enantioselectivity, and using these catalysts to selectively hydrolyze one enantiomer of the glycidyl esters. Also a method for fractionation includes stirring an aqueous solution of the enzyme with a solid inert adsorbent to provide an adsorbed and non-adsorbed enzyme fraction, where the non-adsorbed fraction displays a higher enantioselectivity than the crude non-fractionated enzyme. Also a composition composed of a glycidyl ester is obtained with an enantiomeric excess of greater than or equal to 97%.
