Background

Our high-performance biodiesel lipase is engineered to transform your production process—delivering cleaner conversions, higher yields, and greater operational efficiency. Designed for robust activity under a wide range of conditions, this enzyme enables efficient transesterification of oils into premium-quality biodiesel while reducing energy consumption and minimizing chemical waste.

Unlike traditional catalysts, our lipase offers exceptional specificity, producing fewer by-products and simplifying downstream purification. The result?

Lower production costs, improved sustainability, and a greener footprint for your operation. Whether you're scaling up or optimizing an existing facility, this biodiesel lipase is your key to smarter, more sustainable fuel production.

Reaction

Triglycerides (fats & oils) → FAMEs + Glycerol CAS Number: 9001-62-1

Storage

12 months (see file for more information) * where 1 U is the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 umol of FAME from vegetable oil per minute under defined conditions.
