Industrial Lipase Enzyme – Multi-Purpose Biocatalyst for Fat and Oil Hydrolysis
Industrial Lipase Enzyme is a highly efficient biocatalyst used to hydrolyze and modify natural oils and fats. It plays an essential role in various industries such as leather degreasing, paper manufacturing, detergent formulation, biodiesel production, and oil & grease treatment. This enzyme offers broad pH and temperature tolerance, excellent stability, and outstanding catalytic efficiency, making it a versatile tool for improving process performance and sustainability.
Product Overview
Derived through advanced fermentation and purification processes, this lipase provides consistent and reliable enzymatic activity under diverse industrial conditions. It effectively catalyzes the breakdown of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol, facilitating the removal, transformation, or synthesis of lipid materials. The enzyme is suitable for both aqueous and non-aqueous systems, maintaining stable performance across a wide operational range.
Key Features and Benefits
- Wide Working Range: Operates effectively between 30–50 °C and pH 4.0–12.0.
- High Stability: Maintains catalytic activity even after prolonged use at elevated temperatures.
- Versatile Applications: Compatible with various substrates and process systems.
- Eco-Friendly Solution: Enables biological replacement of harsh chemicals for cleaner production.
- Convenient Formulation: Light yellow, free-flowing powder, easy to dissolve and dose.
- Safe and Mild: Non-toxic, non-irritating odor, and biodegradable.
Recommended Usage
The typical dosage is 0.5–3 kg per metric ton of raw material. The optimal amount depends on substrate composition, process design, and desired reaction level. For best results, conduct preliminary testing under actual process conditions to determine the appropriate enzyme dosage and addition method.
Lipase inactivation condition:
90°C for 30 minutes
Applications
- Leather Processing: Efficiently removes natural fats and greases from hides and skins, improving softness, uniformity, and dye absorption.
- Pulp and Paper: Reduces pitch deposits and enhances pulp cleanliness for smoother papermaking operations.
- Detergent Formulation: Improves washing power by breaking down stubborn fat residues and oily stains in fabrics and hard surfaces.
- Biodiesel Production: Catalyzes hydrolysis, esterification, and transesterification reactions to produce fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in greener, enzyme-based processes.
- Oil & Grease Hydrolysis: Effective in wastewater treatment, food waste management, and industrial fat decomposition systems.
