Application
Lipases are used industrially for the resolution of chiral compounds and the transesterification production of biodiesel.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols into glycerol and free fatty acids.
Unit Definition
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which releases 1 μmol fatty acid from triglycerides per minute at pH 7.2 and 37 C (olive oil as substrate)
Analysis Note
enzyme activity:
the optimum temperature is 40°C, the optimum pH is 7.2 (highly active from pH 6.5-7.5)
