Highly active lipase with broad specificity towards short, medium and long chain fatty acids. Suitable for the effective hydrolysis of dairy and animal fats, oils and egg.
Free fatty acids, the fundamental building blocks in many sectors, can vary in chain length and degree of saturation, influencing their functionality and applications. However, the industry has long faced challenges in maximising the yield of free fatty acids while maintaining cost efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Enzymes have been used for centuries to produce flavour in dairy products. Traditionally flavour is generated by enzymes produced from microflora present in cheese, butter, or cream and time is required for these complex flavours to evolve. In more recent times the addition of exogenous (external source) enzymes to immature cheese, butter oil or cream has been used to speed this process up intensifying the flavour in hours and days instead of weeks and months.
Eggs are a valuable food source providing a natural source of many nutrients including high quality protein, vitamins and minerals, that are essential for healthy body growth and development.
Versatile Enzyme for Hydrolysis and Esterification Reactions
How lipases from Candida cylindracea can be used for the selective hydrolysis of fatty acids to produce flavours and play a key role in rearranging fatty acids in triglycerides.
