Abstract
1. The temperature characteristics for the hydrolysis of various concentrations of tributyrin, trivalerin, tricaproin, triheptylin, and tricaprylin have been determined. 2. The µ values for the hydrolysis of all concentrations of tributyrin by pancreatic lipase, except the most dilute, were found to be constant within the experimental error, 8,500 ± 1,000. 3. The temperature characteristics for the hydrolysis of trivalerin, tricaproin, triheptylin, and tricaprylin varied from approximately 8,500 ± 1,000 for the high concentrations to 12,400, 20,000, 22,400, and 23,700 respectively for the most dilute concentration of each. 4. An interpretation of these results was presented.Keywords
