Abstract
Increasing interest in lipases has been observed at the end of the last century, due to their potential application, in (bio)degradation as well as in (bio)synthesis of glycerides. The advantages of the enzymatic hydrolysis over the chemical process consist of less energy requirements and higher quality of the obtained products. Beside this, lipases are also efficient in various reactions such as esterification, transesterification and aminolysis in organic solvents. Examples in the literature are numerous. Lipases are used in different fields such as resolution of racemic mixtures, synthesis of new surfactants and pharmaceuticals, bioconversion of oils and fats and detergency applications.
