Applications
Thermostable Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) catalyzes lipid transformations with stable performance at elevated temperatures and alkaline-to-neutral pH ranges.
Biodiesel Production
Enzymatic transesterification of vegetable oils and waste cooking oil to FAME biodiesel—greener than chemical catalysis.
Learn more →Interesterification
Chemical-free fat modification for margarine and shortening—produces trans-fat-free structured lipids.
Personal Care Ingredients
Ester synthesis for cosmetic emollients, surfactants, and specialty esters in skincare and haircare products.
Chiral Resolution
Enantioselective hydrolysis and synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates—key tool in asymmetric synthesis.
Industrial Degreasing
High-temperature grease removal in food processing equipment, commercial kitchens, and industrial cleaning.
Enzyme-Modified Fats
Production of cocoa butter equivalents and specialty fats through directed lipase-catalyzed interesterification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EC number and source of this Lipase (Thermostable)?
It is Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) sourced from Thermomyces lanuginosus.
What pH and temperature ranges should I use for best activity?
Recommended working conditions are pH 7.0–10.0 and 50°C–75°C for thermostable performance.
How should I interpret the activity value (100,000+ U/g, tributyrin assay)?
The activity reflects enzyme units per gram measured using a tributyrin assay. Actual dosing depends on substrate, mixing, and process setup—pilot trials are recommended.
Is this lipase suitable for biodiesel from waste cooking oil?
Yes. Thermostable lipase supports enzymatic transesterification of vegetable oils and waste cooking oil to FAME biodiesel under appropriate process conditions.
What are the storage and shelf-life requirements?
Shelf life is 12 months when sealed and stored cool. Follow the provided COA/TDS handling guidance to maintain performance.
