The use of plants and extracts as therapies for the treatment of numerous diseases has been known since antiquity. Many of the beneficial health effects and performance in infectious treatments are due to the esters composition. The study of enzymatic synthesis esters, with antimicrobial capacity is fundamental importance, due the to search for natural compounds in substitution to the che…
One of the major challenges in the food industry is the modification of oils and fats aiming to obtain structured lipids, especially dietary triglycerides, which have important nutraceutical and food applications. MLM dietary triglycerides contain medium chain fatty acids (M) at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions and long chain fatty acids (L) at the sn-2 position, and can be obtained by enzymat…
Invertases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of sucrose into D-glucose and D-fructose, known as invert sugar, which is widely used in the food and beverage industry due to its high sweetness. Because enzymes are one of the most expensive items in a bioprocess, their recovery and reuse is of paramount importance, therefore, immobilizing an enzyme makes the reaction more economically…
Proteases are one of the main enzymes used in industrial processes today. These enzymes are responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of peptide bonds present in proteins. As these bonds are responsible for maintaining the native structure of these molecules, when they are hydrolyzed, their fragments, the peptides, are released. These peptides, with bioactive potential, may have several p…
Lipases catalyze several reactions and are easily separated from the reaction medium when immobilized, making them versatile and widely used enzymes in biotransformations. They can be obtained from microbial sources, such as fungi, which have advantages with lower cultivation costs, extracellular enzyme secretion, and greater stability and activity compared to other sources. The final cos…
The enzyme tannin acyl hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.20), commonly known as Tanase, is responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of tannins, such as tannic acid, in gallic acid and glucose. Tannins are phenolic compounds with high solubility in water that have the ability to precipitate proteins, which may be present in several plants. Tannase can be produced by different microorganisms, such as ba…
