Lipase and their different industrial applications: A review

Abstract

Enzymes are also known natural catalysts. Lipases are flexible enzymes that are mostly used. These enzymes are found extensively all over the animal and plant kingdoms, likewise in molds and bacteria. Among all identified enzymes, lipases have concerned the mainly biotechnological attention. This review paper discusses the characteristic, microbial origin and application of lipases. The present review discussed about different characteristics and sources (fungal, bacteria's) of lipase. The present article also discussed about different bioreactors used for lipase production and different biotechnological applications (food, detergent, paper and pulp, biofuels etc) of lipases. An observation to considerate lipases and their applications as bulk enzymes and high-value of production, these enzymes are having huge impact in different bioprocesses.

Heterologous Expression and Characterization of Plant Lipase LIP2 from Elaeis guineensis Jacq. Oil Palm Mesocarp in Escherichia coli

“…Their role as a global enzyme in the market has significantly grown compared to the other hydrolysis enzymes such as peptidases [2]. Lipases from microorganisms are a major source as compared to plant lipases [3,4]. The protein structure of the lipases from plants has not been widely studied due to the low protein expression and laborious purification to produce, which tends to cause less purified protein compared to lipases expressed in microorganisms.…”

Low-cost production of cell-bound lipases by pure and co-culture of yeast and bacteria in palm oil mill effluent and the applications in bioremediation and biodiesel synthesis

“…Based on the market value, lipases are known as the third-largest group, after proteases and carbohydrases. Lipases are beneficial for bioapplication in the food industry, detergent formulation, pharmaceutical industries, leather processing, bioremediation, biocontrol agent, and biofuel production to replace chemical catalysts benefit from being more environmentally friendly [7,8]. The biological reaction of lipase-catalyzed biodiesel generation is a green technology with fewer purification steps and is easier to perform than the chemical reaction [9].…”

Optimization of Lactobacillus Plantarum Activities in the Biosinthesis of Lipase Enzymes

“…Lipase is an enzyme whose use is very broad and is found in animals, plants, fungi and bacteria. Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of long-chain acyl glycerol at the aqueous oil interface [2]. Lipase has substrate specificity and variety different enzymatic properties, like broad source, short cycle, wide pH range, and a wide temperature range.…”

“…Microbial growth conditions that affect lipase synthesis and production include carbon sources. Carbon sources can come from olive oil or other vegetable oils [2]. Vegetable oil has been used as an inducer for lipase production by adding vegetable oil to the media.…”
