Abstract

Lipases (EC 3.1.1.3) fromCandida cylindracea andRhizopus delemar were found to catalyze O-acylation of L-homoserine or L-serine with free fatty acids or with fatty acids from triacylglycerol. The active pH range of the reation for O-acylation was from 7.0 to 8.5. Emulsifying activity of O-oleoyl-L-homoserine was higher than those of conventional surfactants.
