What are the industrial applications of immobilized lipase technology?

1. Biodiesel production: Using immobilized lipase to catalyze the conversion of oils and fats to produce clean, renewable, low-carbon, environmentally friendly energy biodiesel, which has environmental characteristics, complies with carbon emission reduction policies, and the market demand is gradually released, with broad development prospects.

2. Oil processing: It can catalyze the hydrolysis reaction and transesterification reaction of fats. For example, dissolving beef fat in an appropriate organic solvent can increase the hydrolysis reaction rate; changing the properties of oils and fats through transesterification reactions to produce products such as cocoa butter; it can also carry out biorefining and deacidification of oils and fats, converting a large amount of free fatty acids in the oil into neutral glycerides, reducing the acid value and increasing the amount of neutral glycerides. In addition, it can also be used for the strengthening of polyunsaturated fatty acids and the synthesis of phospholipids.

3. Food additive synthesis: For example, it is used to synthesize l-ascorbyl palmitate, which has significantly improved antioxidant properties, hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, and has anti-cancer and anti-tumor effects; it can also be used to selectively synthesize additives such as sucrose laurate with emulsification and antibacterial functions; it can also synthesize aromatic compounds through microbial enzymes.

4. Degreasing processing in the food industry: For example, adding a certain amount of lipase soda solution to cream and treating it can improve the aroma and flavor.

5. Industrial leather processing: Helps in the processing and treatment of leather.

6. Food waste processing: Used to prepare biodiesel and other products using waste cooking oil as raw materials.

7. Pharmaceutical synthesis: Plays a role in the synthesis or conversion of some drugs.
