Abstract
Candida cylindracea lipase (SIGMA) was tested against triglycerides (TG) and wax esters (WE) of marine origin as substrates. Under the same conditions, wax esters were hydrolysed at a lower rate than the triglycerides. The C14 to C18 saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids were preferentially hydrolysed whereas the longer chain monoenes (20:1 and 22:1) and particularly the polyunsaturated fatty acids (18:4,20:5 and 22:6) were resistant to the hydrolysis in triglycerides as well as in wax esters. No specificity was demonstrated for the fatty alcohols in the wax esters.Keywords
