Application
Lipase from Candida rugosa has been used:
- to synthesize dextran fatty acid esters[1]
- to study the effect of lipase on conjugated linoleic acid (CLA1 and CLA2) production in the presence of sunflower oil and castor oil[2]
- to prepare pH-imprinted enzyme for lipase-catalyzed transesterification of dextran T-40 with vinyl decanoate[3]
Lipases are used industrially for the resolution of chiral compounds and the transesterification production of biodiesel.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lipases are enzymes and biocatalysts that catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols into glycerol and free fatty acids. They are useful for biotransformation reactions.[4] It possesses broad substrate tolerance[4] and is highly stereo- and regioselective.[1] Lipases mediate lipid transport. Elevated levels of serum lipase are observed in pancreatitis[5]. Lipases are the preferred catalysts for long-chain fatty acids.[1] Lipases can be used in a wide range of solvents, in both aqueous and non-aqueous media, and thus have found use in applications like organic synthesis.
Tri-, di-, and monoglycerides are hydrolyzed (in decreasing order of rate).

General description
Research area: Cell Structure
Lipases are found in pancreatic secretions. This class of enzymes contains α and β hydrolase folds.[5] Candida rugosa produces multiple lipase isoenzymes that have 80% sequence homology.[6]

This product contains lactose as a carrier.
Other Notes
One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 microequivalent of fatty acid from a triglyceride in 1 hr at pH 7.2 at 37 °C. (This is equivalent to approx. 10 microliters of CO2 in 30 minutes.)

Lipases are industrial biocatalysts, which are involved in several novel reactions, occurring in aqueous medium as well as non-aqueous medium. Furthermore, they are well-known for their remarkable ability to carry out a wide variety of chemo-, regio- and enantio-selective transformations.

Why is the definition of Enzymatic activity "One Unit will Hydrolyze 1 µequivalent of Fatty Acid from TG” instead of “One Unit will liberate 1 µequivalent of Fatty Acid from TG”. In fact, a Fatty acid is not hydrolyzed but liberated from TG hydrolysis.
