Recent Advances in Lipases and Their Applications in the Food and Nutraceutical Industry

Lipases are efficient enzymes with promising applications in the nutraceutical and food industry, as they can offer high yields, pure products under achievable reaction conditions, an environmentally friendly option. This review addresses production of high-value-added compounds such fatty acid esters, potential to be used flavoring agents or antioxidant antimicrobial agents, well structured lipids that specific functional properties do not exist nature, important different products, pharmaceuticals. In addition, most recent successful cases reactions lipases produce modified for nutraceuticals reported.
