Resumo

The enzyme market is growing constantly, and lipases, in their free and immobilized forms, constitute an important part of this market. This study aimed to analyze and discuss current market scenarios using data from the literature, focusing on lipases and the feasibility of their use in the immobilized form. It also compares the cost of biodiesel production using two commercial lipases: Eversa Transform 2.0 (free lipase) and Novozyme 435 (immobilized lipase). The results show that the European and North American enzyme markets are the most prominent worldwide, with Denmark and the USA as the major exporters and importers, respectively. Lipases can be used in a wide variety of fields, and immobilization brings many advantages to this enzyme class. Finally, we show the use of immobilized enzymes and lipases in biorefinery and food industries and carry out a comparative cost analysis to produce biodiesel using a free and immobilized lipase. We concluded that the enzyme market, in which lipases play an important role, is extensive, and that immobilized lipases seem to be excellent biocatalysts with feasible costs for industrial applications.
