Description

Lipase CAS NO 9001-62-1 is a hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of fats and oils into fatty acids and glycerol. This biocatalyst is essential for numerous industrial processes requiring efficient and specific lipid modification. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the food & beverage, detergent, pharmaceutical, and biofuel sectors seeking to enhance product quality, process efficiency, and sustainability.

Application

• Food Industry: Used in cheese ripening (flavor development), baking (dough conditioning), and the production of specialty fats and oils (interesterification).
• Detergent Formulations: A key additive in laundry and dishwashing detergents for effective stain removal of greasy and oily soils.
• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceuticals: Employed as a digestive aid in enzyme supplements and in the synthesis of chiral intermediates for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biofuel Production: Catalyzes the transesterification of triglycerides in the manufacturing of biodiesel.
• Leather Processing: Assists in the degreasing of hides and skins during the tanning process.
• Pulp & Paper: Used in pitch control to break down triglyceride-based wood resins that can interfere with paper production.
• Waste Management: Applied in the bioremediation of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) deposits in wastewater systems.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a biocatalyst for enantioselective hydrolysis, esterification, and transesterification reactions.

Quality Control

Our Lipase is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is characterized for key parameters including activity (U/mg), protein content, and microbial limits to ensure consistent performance and reliability for your applications. We can supply grades compliant with relevant standards such as Food Chemical Codex (FCC) for food applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and loss of activity. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
