To utilize microbial lipases for hydrolysis of milk fat, optimum reaction conditions and characteristics of enzymatic reactions of lipases originated from Rhizopus delemar, Mucor sp., and Candida cylindracea were investigated. Optimum pH and temperature were pH 5.6 and $45^{\circ}C$ for Rhizopus delemar lipase, pH7.5 and $35^{\circ}C$ for Mucor sp. lipase, and pH7.5 and $35^{\circ}C$ for Candida cylindracea lipase. Optimum lipase concentration and optimum substrate concentration were $600{\sim}800\;units/ml$ and 20% milk fat, regardless of their origin. Km values were 6.06% milk fat for Rhizopus delemar lipase, 7.69% for Mucor sp. lipase and 7.99% for Candida cylindracea lipase. Rate of lipid hydrolysis was Rhizopus delemar lipase>Mucor sp. lipase>Candida cylindracea lipase. As the reaction time was extended, liberation of short chain fatty acids was increased. After 8 hours reaction, capric acid content significantly increased with Candida cylindracea lipase, palmitic acid with Mucor sp. lipase and butyric acid with Rhizopus delemar lipase.

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.

To establish optimal conditions for esterification by Candida cylindracea, lipase reactions were performed simultaneously, separately, or individually in the varying initial rates of $0.014-0.060\mu$mole free fatty acids consumed min-1g-1. The reactants which were conditioned at aw of 0.12 gave the highest initial rate of esterifying $0.060\mu$mole free fatty acids consumed min-1g-1. These results suggest that the esterifying activity of lipase in an organic system depends on the transfer of available water within the reaction system.

Lipolytic characteristics of candia cylindracea lipase was studied by various triacylglycerols with different fatty acyl chains as substrate. The substrate was emulsified with gum arabic and the rate of hydrolysis was determined by pH stat method. The effects of gum concentration, pH, temperature, and $Ca^{2+}$ ion on the enzyme activities were examined. The results show that the effect of these factors are markedly depending on the structurla nature of substrates. The triolein was the best substrate among tested. Present study demonstrates that for characterization of lipolytic enzymes, it is critically important to select proper substrate and activator.r.

The hydrolysis reaction of soybean oil was conducted experimentally by various source enzymes. The analytical result of hydrolysate of soybean oil showed that the compositions were linoleic acid, olic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid in order. The enzymes CR-E and CC-E from Candida rufosa and Candida cylindracea had two hold or more hydrolysis conversions than those of Lipase 16, Novozyme 871, and Lipolase-100L under the same conditions. Therefore CR-E and CC-E were selected for further experiments. These two enzymes had similar ranges of optimun conditions as follows: pH 3-6, $35-45^{\circ}C$, and water to soybean oil ratio of 3.3 or above. They finally got conversions 95% above.

The synthesis of lauryl palmitate from palmitic acid and lauryl alcohol was investigated in organic solvents using lipase. Water-immiscible organic solvent such as hexane, toluenem cyclohexane, and isooctane were found to be suitable of ester synthesis . The effect of water content on the initial rate of conversion was examined . As the content increased, the reaction rate increased. But addition of water in organic solvent decreased therostability of enzyme . The best lauryl palmitate synthesis was achieved with water content of 0.2-0.4% reaction temperature of 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 45$^{\circ}C$ for Candida cylindracea lipase porcine, pancreatic lipase, respectively. when ester synthesis was carried out under the optimum conditions, the conversion yield of palmitate into lauryl palmitate after 70hrs reached 85% and 69 % for the Candida cylindracea lipase and porcine opancreatic lipase, respectivley.

The hydrolysis characteristics of various fatty acids composing the fish oil was investigated for function of acyl chain specificities using Lipase-OF 360,000 from Candida cylindracea. The hydrolysis of fatty acids decreased with the increase of the number of carbon and double bond in the fatty acids, in case that the number of double bond and the position of the first double bond from the methyl group of fatty acids were the same. The position of the first double bond was found to be an acyl chain specificity of Lipase-OF 360,000 for the hydrolysis of fish oil. Lipase-OF 360,000 also showed the another acyl chain specificity that the increase of double bond of fatty acids, having the same number of carbon and the position of double bond, brought about the decrease of hydrolysis.

This study measured the effect of general pre-treatment on PLA fabrics to confirm the benefits of enzymatic processing on PLA fabrics in the textile industry as well as evaluated the hydrolytic activities of three lipases. The effects of lipase hydrolysis were analyzed through moisture regain, dyeing ability, tensile strength, and surface morphology. As a result, PLA fibers were easily damaged by a low concentration of sodium hydroxide and a low treatment temperature. The optimal treatment conditions of Lipase from Candida cylindracea were pH 8.0, $40^{\circ}C$, and 1,000 U. The optimal treatment conditions for Lipase from Candida rugosa were pH 7.2, $37^{\circ}C$, and 1,000 U. The optimal treatment conditions for Lipase from Porcine pancreas were pH 8.0, $37^{\circ}C$, and 2,000 U. The moisture regain and dyeing ability of PLA fabrics increased and the tensile strength of PLA fabrics decreased. The results of surface morphology revealed that there were some cracks due to hydrolysis on the surface of the fiber.

Using fungal (Fusarium solani f. pisi) and bacterial (Pseudomonas mendocina) cutinases, the initial hydrolysis rate of p-nitrophenyl esters was systematically estimated for a wide range of enzyme and substrate concentrations using a 96-well microplate reader. Both cutinases exhibited a high substrate specificity; i.e. a high hydrolytic activity on p-nitrophenyl butyrate (PNB), yet extremely low activity on p-nitrophenyl palmitate (PNP). When compared to the hydrolysis of PNB and PNP by other hydrolases [lipases and esterases derived from different microbial sources, such as bacteria (Pseudomonas cepacia, Psedomonas furescens, Baciilus stearothermophilus), molds (Aspeillus niger, mucor miehei), and yeasts (Candida rugosa, Candida cylindracea)], the above substrate specificity would seem to be a unique characteristic of cutinases. Secondly, the hydrolytic activity of the cutinases on PNB appeared much faster than that of the other hydrolytic enzymes mentioned above. Furthermore, the current study proved that even when the cutinases were mixed with large amounts of other hydrolases (lipases or esterases), the Initial hydrolysis rate of PNB was determined only by the cutinase concentration for each PNB concentration. This property of cutinase activity would seem to result from a higher accessibility to the substrate PNB, compared with the other hydrolytic enzymes. Accordingly, these distinct properties of cutinases may be very useful in the rapid and easy isolation of various natural cutinases with different microbial sources, each of which may provide a novel industrial application with a specific enzymatic function.
