Lipases are enzymes belonging to the group of hydrolases and catalyze the conversion of triglycerides to free fatty acids and glycerol. However, lipases are distinguished by their ability to catalyze hydrolysis reactions not only but also synthesis in aqueous-limited media, a property that has expanded the potential industrial applications of these enzymes. The Laboratory of Biochemistry …
Biodiesel (methyl esters of fatty acids), produced by transesterification of triglycerides in the presence of alcohol, it becomes increasingly important due to declining oil reserves and the environmental consequences of burning fossil fuels. The process of transesterification occurs under mild conditions (ambient temperature and neutral pH), avoiding the problems that accompany chemical …
In industries in general, lipases play crucial roles in several applications, including the synthesis of biodiesel, modification of fats and oils, production of functional foods, formulation of enzymatic detergents, and in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of specific medicines, in addition to prolonging the shelf life of products, improve the flavor and texture of food, and …
Galactolipids are the most abundant class of lipids found on the Earth's surface and constitute the main storage form of fatty acids. Although these lipids have biological responses of great interest, such as: regulation of the lipid profile, antioxidant action, regulation of the cardiovascular system, among others. Another problem involving this class of lipids is that there is still no …
Invert sugar and fructooligosaccharides are raw materials of interest in the food industry and have in common the fact that they are obtained with enzymes popularly known as invertases. Invertases (D-fructofuranosidefructohydrolass, EC.3.2.1.26) catalyze the cleavage of sucrose (d-glucopyranosyl--d-fructofuranoside) into two monosaccharides, namely glucose and fructose. Furthermore, these…

The soybean oil used in industrial and household kitchens becomes a waste of great environmental impact if not disposed correctly or recycled. Vegetable oils are degraded when used in food frying, originating products such as mono- and diacylglycerols, as well as free fatty acids. A strategy for the reuse of residual soybean oil could be an enzymatic hydrolysis of the acylglycerols result…
In industries, lipases have a specific niche and exert a shelf life potentiators function, flavorings, thickeners, cleaning agents, among others. It is also of great importance in the production and formulation of animal feed, besides being used for pharmaceutical, medical and diagnostic purposes. Specific enzymes, such as lipase, require high purity as a result of their applications in t…
The production of exopolysaccharide (EPS) by filamentous fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae has industrial interest, due to its potential application related to its immunomodulatory action, inducer of pro-inflammatory and anti-tumor response and anticoagulant action when sulfated. However, the industrial viability of this bioprocess still needs to overcome challenges, such as cell growth 10 …
