Lipases in organic solvents: The fatty acid chain length profile

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Competitive lipase-catalysed hydrolyses of triacylglycerols were used for the quantitative determination of the fatty acid profile of several lipases. In contrast to previously described methods a complete and reliable activity profile for triacylglycerols containing fatty acid residues with chain lengths from C4 to C18∶1 can be obtained in one single experiment.
