background and objectives: lipases are particularly important due to the fact that they specifically hydrolyze acyl glycerol, oils and greases, which is of great interest for different industrial applications. materialst and methods : in this study, several lipase-producing bacteria were isolated from wastewater of an oil processing plant. the strain possessing the highest lipase activity was i...

aquatic animals are important resources for extraction of valuable compounds such as enzymes. in this study, lipase was extracted from the intestine of rainbow trout. samples were defatted with acetone several times; ammonium sulphate (60%) was used for precipitation followed by ultrafiltration for concentrating the samples. the final purification of the enzyme was performed by passing of the s...

Enzyme cost is the major problem for industrial scale application. Immobilization is a promising approach to moderate the enzyme cost factor and increase its stability and activity. In this study, sol-gel method was used to prepare the immobilization platform and entrapped lipase as one of the most used enzyme in dairy processing, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Lipase from Candida rug...

pseudomonas aeruginosa ef2, atcc 9027 and atcc 19660 were grown in a continuous culture under tween 80 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate) limitation and optimum conditions (ph 6.5, 37°c at dilution rate of 0.05/h). culture supernatants were carefully removed and stored at -20°c. to purify the lipases, the culture supernatant was reduced in volume to approximately 10 ml by an ultrafiltration ...

the objective of the present study was to determine the antilipidperoxidation and in vitro α-amylase and lipase inhibitory activity of the boswellia ovalifoliolata bal henry (bob) extract. the polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins content of the extracts were estimated by spectrophotometry. antioxidant activity on goat liver lipid peroxidation and linoleic acid was determined.moreover...

In this study, solid-state fermentation of two types of agricultural residues/products for lipase production in a tray-bioreactor was investigated. Rhizopus oryzae was used as a potential fungus strain and two types of agricultural residues including soybean meal and sugarcane bagasse were utilized as substrate. Fermentation was carried out in two different operational conditions: one with cont...

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...

the use of proteins and peptides as human therapeutics has been increased in recent years. lipase is a relatively homogeneous proteinaceous enzyme indicated in maldigestion. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of humidity along with compactional pressure on the enzymatic activity of wheat germ lipase. samples of lipase powder were kept at different relative humidity (rh)...

Background: Lipase enzymes are of great importance in various industries. Currently, extensive efforts have been focused on exploring new lipase producer microorganism as well as genetic and protein engineering of available lipases to improve their functional features. Methods: For screening lipase-producing lactobacilli, isolated strains were inoculated onto tributyrin agar plates. Molecular ...
