The Correlation between Lipase Activity and the Production of Fatty Acids of PBC Cocoa Clone
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study was carried out to determine the correlation between lipase activity in cocoa beans and the presence of free fatty acids which could affect the aroma and flavour of cocoa. Lipase activity fell from 0.46 to 0.15 ~mol/min/mg protein during six days of fermentation. Changes in the pH from 6.6 to 5.1 in the cotyledon and the increase in temperature seems to have contributed to the decrease in lipase activity, although no consistent correlation was observed. Maximum acetic acid production was observed on the third day of fermentation, when the maximum temperature was attained by the cocoa beans. However, other fatty acids increased continuously until the fifth day of fermentation and declined thereafter.

Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of phospholipids on fatty acid profile, lipid content of body and lipase activity in stellate fish (Acipenser stellatus) fed different levels of lecithin as phospholipid source. The fish with average weight of 11.25 ± 0.06 g were fed seven different diets having identical levels of protein and lipid content but dif...

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), Glycerol (G) and sunflower oil blends with varying concentration were subjected to enzymatic esterification using a 1, 3- specific immobilized lipase. CLA was used as acyl due to its purported health benefits. The transesterified lipids were evaluated for free fatty acids (FFA) and composition of fatty acids by gas chromatography. Lipozyme RM IM is preferred for ...

Background: Lipase is an enzyme with immense application potential. Ester synthesis by lipase catalysis in organic media is an area of key industrial relevance. Enzymatic preparations with traits that cater to the needs of this function are hence being intensely researched. Objective: The objectives of the study were to immobilize the lipase from Bacillus sp. PS35 by cross-linking and adsorpti...
متن کاملThe fatty acid and positional specificities of lipoprotein lipase.
Lipoprotein lipase has been identified in extracts of adipose tissue and heart and seems to be identical to the lipase that appears in plasma after the injection of a polyanion (cf. 1,2). The most unique characteristic of this lipase is its specificity for triglycerides in the form of a natural or synthetic lipoprotein complex. This paper describes investigations on the specificity of lipoprote...
