Enzymatic dipeptide synthesis by surfactant-coated alpha-chymotrypsin complexes was performed in supercritical CO(2) and liquid CO(2) at 308.2 and 333.2 K at pressures of 6.1 and 10.1 MPa. The enzymatic activity of coated alpha-chymotrypsin complexes for dipeptides synthesis at 10.1 MPa in supercritical CO(2) (SC-CO(2)) was higher than that in a liquid CO(2) and ethyl acetate solution at 6.1 MPa. The behavior of alpha-chymotrypsin in SC-CO(2) was similar to that in liquid ethyl acetate. And increasing the pressure and temperature increased the maximum conversion and the enzymatic reaction rate in SC-CO(2). Furthermore, the control of the water content in the reaction media had a dominant effect on the enzymatic activity. The maximum conversion for the dipeptide synthesis by the surfactant-coated alpha-chymotrypsin was obtained at 4% water content. The alpha-chymotrypsin complexes exhibited a higher enzymatic activity than native alpha-chymotrypsin in SC-CO(2). The nonionic surfactants l-glutamic acid dialkyl ester ribitol amide and sorbitan monostearate were more favored than the anionic surfactant sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate.
