Abstract

Cooking oil waste leads to well-known environmental impacts and its bioremediation by lipase-based enzymatic activity can minimize the high cytotoxic potential. In addition, they are among the biocatalysts most commercialized worldwide due to the versatility of reactions and substrates. However, although lipases are able to process cooking oil wastes, the products generated from this process do not necessarily become less toxic. Thus, the aim of the current study is to analyze the bioremediation of lipase-catalyzed cooking oil wastes, as well as their effect on the cytotoxicity of both the oil and its waste before and after enzymatic treatment. Thus, assessed the post-frying modification in soybean oil and in its waste, which was caused by hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by commercial and home-made lipases. The presence of lipases in the extracts obtained from orange wastes was identified by zymography. The profile of the fatty acid esters formed after these reactions was detected and quantified through gas chromatography and fatty acids profile compared through multivariate statistical analyses. Finally, the soybean oil and its waste, with and without enzymatic treatment, were assessed for toxicity in cytotoxicity assays conducted in vitro using fibroblast cell culture. The soybean oil wastes treated with core and frit lipases through transesterification reaction were less toxic than the untreated oils, thus confirming that cooking oil wastes can be bioremediated using orange lipases.

Highlights

  • The soybean oil wastes treated with core and frit lipases through transesterification reaction were less toxic than the untreated oils, confirming that cooking oil wastes can be bioremediated using orange lipases

  • It was possible seeing that the experiments using crude soybean oil and soybean oil waste showed different fatty acids ester (FAE) releases in the core and commercial lipase treatments. These results indicate that the lipolytic extracts were able to modify the soybean oil, both when it was raw and after it was subjected to prolonged heating

  • It is known that orange-derived lipases differ from other vegetable sources in weight and isoform variety, since the plant lipases in most studies weight 36–40 kDa up to 60 kDa [26, 28,29,30]
