The use of immobilized enzymes is now a routine process for the manufacture of many
industrial products in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industry. Some enzymes, such …

Lipases are the industrially important biocatalysts, which are envisioned to have tremendous
applications in the manufacture of a wide range of products. Their unique properties such as …

Abstract Lipase (EC 3.1. 1.3) belongs to the hydrolases and is also known as fat splitting,
glycerol ester hydrolase or triacylglycerol acylhydrolase. Lipase catalyzes the hydrolysis of …

Lipases and phospholipases are interfacial enzymes that hydrolyze hydrophobic ester
linkages of triacylglycerols and phospholipids, respectively. In addition to their role as …

Maintaining the high standards that made the previous editions such well-respected and
widely used references, Food Lipids: Chemistry, Nutrition, and Biotechnology, Fourth Edition …

Microbial lipases are most broadly used biocatalysts for environmental and industrial
applications. Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis and synthesis of long acyl chain esters and …

The cosmetic industry is constantly trying to develop alternatives to chemical routes for

Lipase catalyzes hydrolysis of fats in lipid water interphase and perform variety of
biotransformation reactions under micro aqueous conditions. The major sources include …

Lipases (triacylglycerol hydrolases, EC 3.1. 1.3) occupy a prominent place among
biocatalysts and carry out reactions in aqueous and non-aqueous media. They catalyze both …

Lipases belong to α/β hydrolases that cause hydrolytic catalysis of triacylglycerols to release
monoacylglycerols, diacylglycerols, and glycerol with free fatty acids. Lipases have a …
