Abstract

The activity of the lipase and phospholipase extracted from the seed meal of Nicotiana tabacum L. was studied with the help of Spectrophotometer at different pH, Temperatures and Solvents. Both lipase and phospholipase shown optimum activity at pH 6 and $45^{\circ}C$. Their activities also maximize when n-heptane was used as solvent media.
