In this paper, the estimation capabilities of the response surface methodology and artificial neural network, in an enzymatic reaction catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase (Novozym 435), were investigated. The experiments were conducted based on a five-level, fourvariable central composite rotatable design. The yield of ester in the enzymatic reaction was considered as a function of four independent variables, namely reaction time, reaction temperature, enzyme amount and substrate molar ratio. After predicting the model using response surface methodology and artificial neural network, two methodologies were then compared for their modeling. The results showed that the artificial neural network model is much more accurate in prediction as compared to the response surface methodology.
