Abstract

Lipases and esterases are enzymes of increasing importance for classical and new industrial applications.[1, 2] The most significant properties of these enzymes are that they are very stable and active, especially in organic solvents, and they possess regio-and stereospecificity.[2] Esterases (also called carboxylesterases, EC 3.1. 1.1) preferentially hydrolyze watersoluble “simple” esters and usually only triglycerides bearing fatty acids ...
