Lipase,

Lipase,

Description:

Lipase is a powerful hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of lipids (fats and oils) into glycerol and free fatty acids. Widely used in biochemical research, food processing, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics, lipase is essential for lipid metabolism studies, enzymatic assays, and biocatalytic transformations.

Key Features:

• Activity: Hydrolyzes triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids

• Source: Available from microbial, animal (e.g., porcine pancreas), or fungal origins

• Purity: ≥ 98% (typical), available in powder or liquid form

• pH Range: Optimal activity typically between pH 6.0 – 9.0 (varies by source)

• Storage: Stable at -20°C or below for long-term use

Applications:

• Biochemical research: Lipid metabolism, enzyme kinetics, and pathway studies

• Food industry: Dairy processing, flavor enhancement, and fat modification

• Pharmaceuticals: Enzyme replacement therapy, digestion studies

• Biocatalysis: Green chemistry applications in organic synthesis

• Clinical diagnostics: Used in lipase activity assays and pancreatic function tests
