Lipases and Esterases

Lipases and Esterases are enzymes that hydrolyze fats and oils to release fatty acids.

ENZECO® MICROBIAL LIPASE CONCENTRATE
A food-grade enzyme derived from a non-GMO Strain of Aspergillus niger. It is a high activity material. The enzyme will hydrolyze fats and oils most commonly at the 1, 3 positions. This product is heat stable and is stable over a broad pH range, work up to a pH of 10.

Application: Baking • Dairy related applications, Such as enzyme modified cheese • Flavor modification • Food supplements/nutraceuticals • Other Lipid hydrolysis applications

Activity assays: FIPU (Fédération Internationale Pharmaceutique unit)


ENZECO® MICROBIAL LIPASE 50
A food-grade enzyme derived from a non-GMO Strain of Aspergillus niger. It is a high activity material. The enzyme will hydrolyze fats and oils, most commonly, at the 1,3 position and is commonly used for enzyme modified cheese when a kosher, non-animal derived, lipase is required.

Application: Baking • Dairy related applications, Such as enzyme modified cheese • Flavor modification • Food supplements/nutraceuticals • Other Lipid hydrolysis applications

Activity assays: FIPU (Fédération Internationale Pharmaceutique unit)


ENZECO® ESTERASE/LIPASE
A food-grade a triacylglycerol lipase produced by the controlled fermentation of a non-GMO strain of Mucor javanicus. The enzyme hydrolyzes the acylester bonds in triacylglycerols (esters of fatty acids and glycerol); yielding mono- and diglycerides, glycerol, and free fatty acids. This product preferentially releases shorter chain fatty acids.

Application: Baking • Dairy related applications, Such as enzyme modified cheese • Flavor modification • Food supplements/nutraceuticals • Other Lipid hydrolysis applications

Activity assays: FIPU (Fédération Internationale Pharmaceutique unit)


ENZECO® ESTERASE / LIPASE RO 2
A unique lipase derived from a non-GMO Strain of Rhizopus oryzae. The enzyme provides hydrolysis of triacylglycerol lipids to release free fatty acids. Dominant action is cleavage at the 1 and 3 positions of the glycerol base. Produces more short and medium length fatty acids than those of longer length.

Activity assay: BGE


ENZECO® LIPASE RO 20
A unique lipase derived from a non-GMO Strain of Rhizopus oryzae. The enzyme produces significant levels of short chain fatty acids such as C8. This lipase is not as aggressive as lipase from A. niger or pancreatic lipase on long-chain fatty acids.

Application: Baking • Dairy related applications, Such as enzyme modified cheese • Flavor modification • Food supplements/nutraceuticals • Other Lipid hydrolysis applications

Activity assays: FIPU (Fédération Internationale Pharmaceutique unit)


ENZECO® Candida Lipase 400
A highly concentrated, unstandardized lipase derived from a non-GMO strain of Candida cylindracea. This lipase hydrolyzes a wide variety of fats and oils and is particularly active at low to moderate temperatures and can be used as a replacement for pancreatic lipase in some applications.

AApplication: Baking • Dairy related applications, Such as enzyme modified cheese • Flavor modification • Food supplements/nutraceuticals • Other Lipid hydrolysis applications
