Properties

Our lipase is an alkaline liquid lipase for use in biological detergent products. The product acts by hydrolysing insoluble fat & oil soilings such as those resulting from frying fats, salad oil, butter, gravy, soup, human sebum and cosmetics.

This enzyme hydrolyses fats by cleaving the ester bonds of triglyceride molecules producing mono and di-glycerides, glycerol and free fatty acids which can then be readily removed from fabrics. This enzyme is particularly effective at first wash removal of fatty stains in laundry applications.

The enzyme is derived from a genetically modified strain of Aspergillus spp. The activity is expressed in Kilo Lipase Units (KLU), and contains no significant side-activities.

Reaction

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

Storage

>12 months (see file for more information) * where 1 U is the amount of enzyme required to release 1 μmol of fatty acid from olive oil under standard conditions
