Technical Specifications: Fungal Lipase Enzyme
Fungal Lipase Enzyme
Fungal Lipase is a highly active lipid-hydrolyzing enzyme produced through controlled fungal fermentation. It catalyzes the breakdown of fats and oils into fatty acids and glycerol, making it an essential enzyme in the feed and biotechnology industries. It is highly valued for its excellent catalytic efficiency, broad substrate specificity, and stability across diverse processing conditions.
Biological Origin & Source
Produced through submerged fermentation using selected non-pathogenic fungal strains: Aspergillus spp., Rhizopus spp., or Candida species. The enzyme is carefully purified and standardized.
Key Product Characteristics
Broad pH activity range, stable across temperature shifts, and highly optimized for industrial fat processing.
Digestive & Feed Benefits
Primary Bio-Function
Hydrolyzes triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol, assists in fat digestion, lipid modification, and catalyzes esterification/transesterification reactions.
Digestive Health Benefits
Maximizes lipid splitting at the oil-water interface, boosting absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).
Animal Feed Benefits
Improves fat utilization in animal feed, enhances nutrient digestibility and feed efficiency, and supports excellent growth performance in livestock and aquaculture.
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
- Fat Ingestion: Hydrophobic fat droplets enter the small intestine as large triglyceride clusters.
- Lipase Action: Fungal lipase targets the oil-water interface, splitting ester bonds at positions 1 and 3.
- Micelle Formation: Triglycerides convert to free fatty acids and 2-monoglycerides, emulsified by bile salts.
- Absorption & Impact: Emulsified micelles pass through enterocytes, increasing growth rate and avoiding diarrhea.
