Among enzymes, lipases have been widely investigated because of the numerous industrial applications. In this study, optimization of lipase production by Aspergillus niger in solid state fermentation from rice bran as solid substrate was investigated. The optimal conditions with the aid of central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM) were obtained.  In the analysis of...

Human monocyte-derived macrophages in culture produced lipoprotein lipase. Although freshly isolated blood monocytes did not secrete much lipase activity, 1 d in culture was sufficient to trigger measureable enzyme production. During 3 wk in culture, maximal activity was attained after 7 d. At all times, the culture medium contained more enzyme activity than did a serum-heparin eluate or a dete...

In the present study, a purified lipase from Bacillus aerius immobilized on celite matrix was used for synthesis of ethyl ferulate. The celite-bound lipase exposed to glutaraldehyde showed 90.02% binding efficiency. It took two hours to bind maximally onto the support. The pH and temperature optima of the immobilized lipase were same as those of free enzyme i.e 9.5 and 55°C. Among different sub...

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 ...

enzymatic acidolysis of canola oil through caprylic acid was investigated to produce certain medium chain ttriacyliglycerol (tag) structured lipids (sls). lipozyme tl im, an sn-1,3 specific thermomyces lanuginosa lipase, and novozym 435, a non-specific candida antarctica lipase, were utilized as the biocatalysts in a batch reactor. reaction conditions were designed according to taguchi’s approa...

BACKGROUND Immobilization of lipase on appropriate solid supports is one way to improve their stability and activity, and can be reused for large scale applications. A sample, cost- effective and high loading capacity method is still challenging. RESULTS A facile method of lipase immobilization was developed in this study, by the use of polydopamine coated magnetic nanoparticles (PD-MNPs). Un...

The molecular defects resulting in a deficiency of lipoprotein lipase activity in a patient with the familial hyperchylomicronemia syndrome have been identified. Increased lipoprotein lipase mass but undetectable lipoprotein lipase activity in the patient's post-heparin plasma indicate the presence of an inactive enzyme. No major gene rearrangements were identified by Southern blot analysis of ...

due to the importance of adult artemia in aquaculture, information regarding the digestive enzyme activities variation with inexpensive diets has great importance in artemia at different life stages. in this study, the effect of different inexpensive diets on digestive enzyme activities, including trypsin, amylse and lipase of artemia urmiana was investigated in different life stages. the exper...

cloning and sequencing of a lipase gene from an indigenous bacillus pumilus, strain f3, revealed an open-reading frame of 648 nucleotides predicted to encode a protein of 215 residues. sequence analysis showed that f3 lipase contained a signal peptide composed of 34 amino acids with an h domain of 18 residues. a tat-like motif was found in the signal peptide similar to some other bacillus pumil...
