Product Description
This product is produced by submerged fermentation of Aspergillus niger followed by purification, formulation and drying.
Lipase is beneficial to dough handling properties, gluten strengthening and crumb texture. Therefore, it has been used in baking industry to improve dough stability, better crumb structure with better whiteness and crust luster, and increase volume of bread and steamed bun. If used together with xylanase, fungal α-amylase and glucose oxidase, it will contribute to the above improvements in a synergistic way.
Mechanism and product standard
Lipase is a kind of serine hydrolase which can catalyze hydrolysis of triglyceride to finally produce Glycerol and fatty acids. The hydrolysis takes place on oil-water interface. Lipase can also catalyze ester synthesis and interesterification. The reactions can be illustrated as the following:

Safey: Enzyme preparations are proteins that may induce sensitization and cause allergic type of symptoms in susceptible individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes or nasal mucosa. Any direct contact with human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, please consult a doctor.
Recommended products used together
If Lipase used together with Xylanase, Fungal α-amylase, and Glucose oxidase, it will contribute to Improve the whole quality of the flour products.
Xylanase
Xylanase acts on xylan in flour and improves dough handling properties, crumb structure and sensory properties of baked products. It can work synergistically with other baking enzymes like fungal amylase, glucose oxidase, lipase, etc.…
Fungal α-amylase
Fungal α-amylase depolymerizes starch to produce oligosaccharides and a small amount of dextrin. The product performs well in flour correction and baking industry.
Glucose oxidase
Glucose Oxidase is able to whiten flour, strengthen gluten and improve dough handling properties and is often used for various baked products.
