Title: Endre Markovits Schersl: Innovator in Sterol and Stanol Processing
Introduction
Endre Markovits Schersl is a notable inventor based in Santiago, Chile. He has made significant contributions to the field of chemical engineering, particularly in the processing of sterols and stanols. With a total of 3 patents to his name, Schersl's work focuses on innovative methods for transesterification and esterification processes.
Latest Patents
One of Schersl's latest patents is titled "Selective transesterification of stanols in mixtures comprising sterols and stanols." This invention relates to a process for selectively transesterifying stanols in mixtures that include both sterols and stanols. The process involves forming a reacting mixture by contacting a selective lipase with a reactant mixture and an ester derived from an organic acid and a short-chain aliphatic alcohol. The transesterification occurs in agitated reactors at pressures below atmospheric pressure and temperatures ranging from 30 to 90°C. The separation of sterols from the mixture is achieved through distillation steps at reduced pressure or through a combination of distillation and crystallization steps.
Another significant patent is the "Process for producing sterol or stanol esters by enzymatic transesterification in solvent and water-free media." This process outlines the steps for producing steryl or stanyl esters, which also takes place in stirred reactors under similar conditions of pressure and temperature. The separation of esters from the reacted mixtures is conducted by distillation at low pressures.
