The effect of high hydrostatic pressure on ester formation and hydrolysis was studied. Six esters and the corresponding carboxylic acids and alcohols were subjected to high-pressure treatments of 400 and 800 MPa under 3 different pH conditions, namely buffer solutions of pH 4, 6 and 8. The selected compounds were dissolved into buffer solutions, subjected to the pressure treatment and then extracted using dichloromethane.
