Abstract

Lipases abundant in nature have a wide application in several industrial sectors. They can be isolated from a variety of sources but lipases isolated from microbes have huge demand due to the easy availability, cost efficiency, greater yield, simple genetic manipulation and higher thermostability. The lipase market is valued at US$ 690 Mn in 2021. It is set to grow at 7.8% CAGR through 2026. The global microbial lipase market size is expected to reach US$ 915.9 Bn by the end of 2029. Lipases are known to play important role in esterification, alcoholysis and hydrolysis. Extracellular enzymes produced from microbes are in great demand due to its wide application in industry related to improving the manufactured products. Lipases have become important in applied and industrial microbiology as also in enzyme engineering sector. Thermostable lipases are in demand as it can carry out chemical reactions at higher temperature without alteration of the structure and activity of the enzyme as also faster reaction and increased solubility. They act as biological catalysts meeting the requirement in several industries like dairy, food, brewery, pharmaceuticals and medicine, detergent, leather and biodiesel. This review is focused on the different application of lipases in industry, the purification methods of lipases and the methods for their assay measurement.
