Lipase Product Information

Source: Porcine Pancreas

I.U.B.: 3.1.1.3

Lipase activity varies widely depending upon the source and type of substrate, the preparation of the substrate emulsion, other components of the reaction mixture, methodology and instrumentation. Comparative investigation has produced a standardized assay for lipase activity. The rate of hydrolysis of an olive oil emulsion is determined by potentiometric titration.

Unit Definiton: One Unit releases one micromole of fatty acid per minute from emulsified olive oil at 25°C, pH 8.0
