What Is Lipase?

Derived from: plants

Lipase Pronunciation: (\ˈlī-ˌpās\)

Type: Naturally-derived

Lipase is a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down fats and oils into fatty acids.

Where Does Lipase Come From?

Within the human body, lipase is produced by tongue glands, stomach, and pancreas.[1]

Lipases can be found in the energy tissues of plants, which is why oily agricultural waste (from ingredients like wheat bran, almond meal, and groundnut kernels) can be used for production through solid state fermentation.[2]

For commercial purposes, lipase-producing fungi may be used via solid state fermentation. However, bacteria are most often produced via submerged fermentation. These microbes secrete lipase which is then purified, homogenized, and crystallized.[3]

What Does Lipase Do?

Lipase has a wide range of uses, from skin conditioning agent to anti-inflammatory drug synthesis.

In enzymatic cleaners, however, plant-based lipase is used to break down protein stains like sweat, grease, lipstick, and salad dressing.[3,4] It is found in lotions as well as in laundry and dish detergents.[3]
