Lipase White Powder for Dietary Supplement Industry
Overview
Lipase is a hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of lipids into fatty acids and glycerol. It is widely used as a functional enzyme preparation, playing a key role in applications involving digestive enzymes, food enzymes, and nutritional ingredients.
Commercial lipase is typically produced through microbial fermentation processes, followed by purification, concentration, and drying to obtain a stable powdered enzyme product. The final material is standardized based on enzyme activity, expressed in units per gram (U/g), rather than concentration percentage.
The finished product is generally supplied as an off-white to light yellow powder with defined enzymatic activity. Common commercial specifications range from 10,000 U/g to 100,000 U/g, allowing flexibility for different formulation requirements in dietary supplements, functional food ingredients, and feed additives.
Lipase activity is commonly measured u…
