Abstract
Purified bovine pancreatic lipase hydrolyzed butteroil, vegetable oils and synthetic glycerides. The enzyme hydrolyzed triglycerides more rapidly than di- and monoglycerides and tripropionin faster than any other synthetic glyceride. Triacetin was the least hydrolyzed glyceride. GLC analysis of the free fatty acids liberated by the lipase from milk fat indicated that the enzyme selectively liberated butyric acid in higher proportion than the relative amount originally in the fat. The enzyme released saturated and unsaturated fatty acids from commercial vegetable oils. With regard to the lipolytic behavior, in general, the bovine pancreatic lipase closely resembled milk lipase.
