At low concentration of the latter, the activity was well maintained and removal of triolein was promoted by hydrolysis. At high concentration, the activity was inhibited and triolein was removed by solubilization. Removal of triolein by hydrolysis was noted to be more efficient than by solubilization.In the lipase-AOS or AE2S system, triolein was removed very much at both high and low surfactant concentrations. This was due to the effective maintenance of lipase activity and solubilization resulting from surfactant cmc.Read More
