Hydrolysis of olive oil by pancreatic lipase in biphasic organic-aqueous system

Abstract
Six ethylene oxide-based surfactants were tested for their suitability to mediate lipase action on olive oil in a water-organic biphasic system. In Slovasol EL only it was possible by lipase to catalyze hydrolysis of the substrate over a wide range of isooctane and water content in the system. The Michaelis-Menten parameters of lipase measured for this system are comparable with those measured in a reversed emulsion of water and oil-isooctane solution. The hydrolysis rate was not increased, however, in the presence of isooctane.
