INTRODUCTION

• Microbial lipases are an important group of

biotechnologically valuable enzymes, owing to
their versatility in application and ease of
mass production.
• Microbial lipase have a wide range of
enzymatic properties and substrate specificity.
• It is excepted in the next few years that
lipases will be used in detergent and cosmetic
industry.
• Lipases and cellulases will increasing be
produced via recombinant DNA technology.
• Lipases are used in two ways:
 They serve as biological catalysts in the
production of products such as food
ingredients.
 By their use in the production of fine
chemicals.
• Following proteases and carbohydrases,
lipases are considered to be the third largest
group based on total sales volume.
• The commercial use of lipases is a billion-
dollar business that comprises a wide variety
of different applications
 BAKERY INDUSTRY
• In baking industry, there is an increasing focus
on lipolytic enzymes.
• Lipases can be used to substitute or
supplement traditional emulsifiers since the
enzymes degrade polar wheat lipids to
produce emulsifying lipids.
• The main purpose of lipase was to increase
the flavour of bakery goods by esterifying
short-chain fatty acids and liberating them.
• Additionally, it extended the shelf life of the
majority of bakery goods.
• By using lipase catalyzation, texture and softness
could be enhanced.
• discovered to be effective at lowering the initial
firmness and raising the specific volume of breads.
• By hydrolyzing butterfat with the appropriate
lipase, more butter flavour was produced for
baked goods.
