Lipases are employed in the food business as processing aids, texture modifiers, and flavour enhancers. For instance, lipases are used in the production of several types of cheese in order to create distinct flavours and textures. They can also be used to increase bread bulk and dough handling when baking baked items.
Lipases are employed in pharmaceuticals for the production and formulation of drugs. They can be used to make lipid-based drug delivery systems that improve the solubility and absorption of particular medications.
Pancreatic lipase is the main lipase in the digestive tract that breaks down dietary lipids. It is created by the pancreas and released into the small intestine, where it interacts with the ingested food’s triglycerides.
An essential part in the breakdown, absorption, and processing of dietary fats (lipids) is played by the enzyme lipase. Triglycerides, which make up most fats, are hydrolyzed into fatty acids and glycerol by this enzyme.
The pancreas, liver, and stomach are a few of the body’s tissues and organs that manufacture lipase. Some foods, including dairy products and some plant sources, also contain it.
Lipase has a variety of industrial purposes in addition to aiding in digestion. Manufacturing processes for food, drugs, and detergents all require lipases that come from microbial or fungal sources.
In the creation of detergents, lipases are also utilized. During the washing process, they aid in the breakdown and removal of lipid-based stains from fabrics, such as oil or grease.
