For screening of useful enzymes producing microorganisms from Meju, we isolated high lipase producing strains and their lipolytic enzyme activities were then tested. The lipolytic enzyme activities of isolated microorganisms were therefore tested on the Y124 strain. The gene sequence analysis of ITS from Y124 strain revealed Yarrowia lipolytica. Lipase production by the Y124 strain was studied in media containing various carbon sources. The Y124 strain drastically increased lipolytic enzyme activity in YPO media containing olive oil, as well as in YPDO media containing both olive oil and glucose. Maximal lipase production was achieved in YPD (yeast extract-peptone-D-glucose) media containing 0.7% olive oil when cultured at $30^{\circ}C$ for 8 hrs. The lipase produced from the Y124 strain showed the highest activity in p-NPO (p-nitrophenyl octanoate ($C_8$)), amongst the various p-nitrophenyl esters.

Effects of Ph on the activity of lipase isolated from milk fat globules were investigated, using coconut oil and homogenized milk as substrate. With buttermilk as an enzyme source for coconut oil and homogenized milk substrates bell-shaped curve was observed at $37^{\circ}C$, having the highest activity at pH 9.5. However, lipase activity at $0^{\circ}C$ continuously increased up to pH 10.0. With the purified lipase for homogenized milk substrate, the bell -shaped curve and the highest activity were observed at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 9.0, respectively. Lipase activity at $0^{\circ}C$ increased up to pH 10.0. The addition of bovine serum albumin to the coconut oil shifted the optimum pH to pH 9.5 and the activity remarkably declined at pH 10.0. The effect of pH on the stability of purified lipase was depending on the temperature. Wehn the lipase kept at $37^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes, it's activity remarkably declined as pH increased: the activity at pH 10.0 was declined by 13% of that pH 8.5. However, when the lipase kept at $4^{\circ}C$ for 60minutes, the activity was stable within the range of pH 7.5 to 10.0.

Lipase from Geotrichum candidum was heat inactivated in 0.1M phosphate buffer solution. The thermal inactivation followed first order kinetics for the range of temperatures $50^{\circ}-80^{\circ}C$ except at $50^{\circ}C$. The changes in enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy at $60^{\circ}C$ were 120.4 kJ/mol, 73.0 J/mol K and 96.9 kJ/mol respectively a value of $19^{\circ}C$(Geotrichum candidum lipase) is greater than that of lipases from milk and pancreas. The effect of detergents, lecithin and linoleic acid or the thermal inactivation of lipase was found to be negligible.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate in vitro antioxidant activity, antioxidant content and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities of Makgeolli supplemented with 0, 1, 2, and 4% (w/v) Jeju camellia mistletoe during fermentation. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents tended to increase as content of Jeju camellia mistletoe increased. Supplementation with Jeju camellia mistletoe resulted in a significant increase in the scavenging capacities of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide and superoxide anion radicals, and reducing power activity. Moreover, pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity was significantly elevated by Jeju camellia mistletoe addition. These results suggest that Jeju camellia mistletoe is considered to be a good material to improve antioxidant and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities of makgeolli.

Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) in the culture filtrate of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) was active on ${\alpha}$-naphthyl-butyrate as well as on various triacylglycerols with different lengths of acyl chains. The extracellular lipase was purified 15-fold by ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephadex G-100, DEAE-Cellulose and Phenyl-Sepharose CL4B column chromatography with overall yield of 16%. It showed an molecular weight of 34.7 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme activity with tributyrin as substrate was optimal at pH 8.0~9.0 and at $37^{\circ}C$. The enzyme activity decreased when the chain length of acyl group of triacyglycerol increased. A-factor, a hormone-like regulator of Streptomyces differentiation inhibited the lipase activity, which might corelate with the low enzyme activity in early exponential growth phase.

In this study, the antioxidant and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities of aqueous methanolic (70% methanol) extract from the roots of Anemarrhena asphodeloides were investigated. The extracts of four solvent fractions (the n-hexane layer, EtOAc layer, n-BuOH layer, and $H_2O$ layer) of the 70% methanol extract were also investigated. Furthermore, the total phenolic content was quantified using a spectrophotometric method. All the tested samples showed dose-dependent radical scavenging and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities. In particular, the pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of the ethyl acetate soluble portion (the EtOAc layer) from the rhizomes of the A. asphodeloides was higher than that of the other solvent-soluble portions. The antioxidant property of the extracts was evaluated using radical scavenging assays with DPPH and $ABTS^+$ radicals. 1000 mg/ml of the n-BuOH layer extract showed 91.2% DPPH radical scavenging activity. The EtOAc layer extract and the n-BuOH layer extract showed $IC_{50}=20.5{\pm}1.7mg/ml$ and $IC_{50}=50.5{\pm}0.7mg/ml$ $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging activities, respectively. The anti-obesity efficacy of the A. asphodeloides extract was tested via porcine pancreatic lipase assay. A pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}$) of $31.3{\pm}0.1mg/ml$ was obtained from the EtOAc layer extract. These results suggest that A. asphodeloides can be considered a new potential source of natural antioxidant and anti-obesity agents.

A simple and effective method has been developed for the immobilization of lipase producing Rhizopus chinensis on polyurethane foam. In this method, the fungal cells with 1, 3 specific lipase in there inside are immobilized within the foam matrix. Four types of commercially available polyurethane foam were tested. The ultimate purpose of the process is to produce low-cost biocatalysts for lipase-catalyzed reactions, which are being increasingly used for industrial applications. Effects of several parameters were studied on the cell loading and the hydrolytic activity of intracellular lipase after acetone drying. These parameters were the type, size, and amount of polyurethane foam. In all the cases, the intracellular lipase activity obtained with the foam was approximately twice greater than that obtained in the absence of the foam.

The present study investigated the immobilization of lipases on silica nanoparticles and silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles as supports with a functional group to enhance the stability of lipase. The influence of functional groups, such as the epoxy group and the amine group, on the activity and stability of immobilized lipase was also studied. The epoxy group and the amino group were introduced onto the surface of nanoparticles by glycidyl methacrylate and aminopropyl triethoxysilane, respectively. Immobilized Candida rugosa lipase on silica nanoparticles and silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles with a functional group showed slightly lower initial enzyme activities than free enzyme; however, the immobilized Candida rugosa lipase retained over 92 % of the initial activity, even after 3 times reuse. Lipase was also immobilized on the silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles by cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) using glutaraldehyde and covalent binding, respectively, were also studied. Immobilized Candida rugosa lipase on silica nanoparticles and silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles by CLEA and covalent binding showed higher enzyme activities than free enzyme, while immobilized Candida rugosa lipase retained over 73 % of the initial activity after 5 times reuse.

Experiments on the process development for the concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from fish oil by using acyl chain specificity of Candida cylindracea lipase were performed. Five kinds of oils were hydrolyzed with Candida cylindracea lipase. Among then, Candida cylindracea lipase just had low activity on the PUFAs-rich fish oil. After the hydrolysis of fish oil, free fatty acid was removed and fatty acid components of glyceride mixtures were analyzed. When the hydrolysis was about 70%, the DHA content in the glyceride mixture was about three times more than that in the original fish oil. The EPA and stearidonic acid contents in the glyceride mixtures, however, were similar to that of the original fish oil. In this work, these results showed that the concentration process of PUFAs by using the acyl chain specificity of Candida cylindreacea lipase was effective in producing glycerides that contained a high concentration of PUFAs in good yield.
