Application

Lipase from Aspergillus oryzae has been used as a control enzyme in activity assays. It has also been used as a component in Lipolase stock solution for the hydrolysis experiments.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lipase is widely used in several industries including food and pharmaceuticals. It mediates hydrolysis of fats and oil. Lipase is utilized for peptide synthesis and in detergent industry. It is active in the range of pH 2-5 and temperature between 30-50°C. Metal ions such as Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺ prevent the action of lipase. Less polar organic solvent is preferred for the high stability.

General description
