Sourced in United States, Germany, China, Poland, Japan, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy

Lipase is a laboratory instrument used to measure the activity or concentration of the enzyme lipase in biological samples. Lipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of fats (lipids) into smaller components, such as fatty acids and glycerol. The Lipase product provides a reliable and accurate method for the quantitative analysis of lipase levels, which can be important for the diagnosis and monitoring of various medical conditions.

Comparative Analysis of Oil Hydrolysis by Lipase

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To compare hydrolysis of olive and linseed oil into glycerol and fatty acids by the enzyme lipase and to study water attraction by produced glycerol during this process, a commercially available lipase (from Candida rugosa via Sigma Aldrich) was applied on both oils. One Unit of lipase is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes 1.0 microequivalent of fatty acid from olive oil in 1 hr at pH 7.2 at 37°C (incubation time 30 min). lipase solutions (200 or 2,000 Units (U) per ml) were prepared in autoclaved demineralized water. A droplet of 5 μl of lipase solution containing 1 or 10 U lipase was applied on a hydrophilic PVDF filter with pore size 0.22 μm (Merck Millipore). The filter was dried at room conditions for at least 15 min until the fluid of the suspension has evaporated, and was placed on 20 μl of oil. The filters were incubated at the same conditions as the filters for the growth experiments, and at different time moments, FT‐IR spectra of two or three samples were obtained as described in the subsection hydrolysis of oil. To compare conversion of the two oils by lipase a two‐tailed, unpaired Welch's t test with alpha 0.05 was used. All statistical analyses were done in Microsoft Excel.

Enzymatic degradation of the BPUR electrospun meshes was performed
in PBS containing 200 U/mL lipase (Sigma, from Thermomyces
lanuginosus)
at 37 °C.43 (link) Electrospun specimens (40 mm
× 5 mm × 0.2 mm3) were placed into capped tubes
containing 2 mL of the lipase solution and incubated with shaking. Solutions
were changed twice per week. At each time point, specimens (n = 3) were
collected using centrifugation and carefully rinsed 3 times with distilled
water. Samples were subsequently frozen overnight and then lyophilized. The
percent mass loss of the degraded sample was determined after lyophilization
by dividing the mass loss by the initial dry mass.

To assess the thermal stability of the potential antimicrobial compounds, four aliquots of each filtered solvent were heat -treated at 40, 60, 80, and 100 °C for 30 min. Lipase and proteolytic enzyme sensitivity were tested by the addition of Lipase (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, CAS no.:9001-62-1), proteinase K (Sigma Aldrich, CAS no.: 39450-01-6), or trypsin (Sigma Aldrich, CAS no.: 9002-07-7) to the extracts, all in a concentration of 1 mg/mL and incubated for 30 min at 50 °C (enzyme activation temperature). The treated extracts were then reassessed for their antimicrobial effect in an agar well diffusion assay similar to the setup described above against two strains of L. monocytogenes and S. Typhimurium, respectively, representing Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.

Enzymatic Treatment of Table Olives

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protocol developed by Böckelmann et al. (2003) was slight adapted to the specific characteristics of table olives. Three different types of enzymes (lipase, βgalactosidase and α-glucosidase) were purchased (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) and mixed in the laboratory to obtain an enzymatic cocktail with the following concentrations: lipase (0.74 mg•ml -1 ), β-galactosidase (0.64 mg•l -1 ), and α-glucosidase (1.05 µL•ml -1 ). αglucosidase and β-galactosidase were chosen for the cleavage of the α-D-glucoside residues and β-galactosidic bonds of exopolysaccharides, respectively, while lipase was added to the enzyme mixture as lipids represent a considerable part of this component from biofilms (Böckelmann et al. 2003) . It was used at full (standard), half (1/2), double (×2) and four (x4) times concentrations taking as references previous works carried out in table olives (Arroyo-López et al. 2012a; Domínguez-Manzano et al. 2012 ). The fruits were incubated at 30 ºC for 1 h in 50 ml of PBS buffer containing the different enzyme preparations. The resultant suspension was centrifuged at 9,000 ×g for 10 min at 4 ºC, the pellet was resuspended in 2 ml of PBS buffer and finally spread.

Lipase activity was determined by measuring the release of p-nitrophenol from p-nitrophenyl palmitate (4-NPP) via a spectrophotometric method at 405 nm. Lipase (10 mg/mL) from porcine pancreas type II (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) was dissolved in reaction buffer 50 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.0, and then centrifuged at 5000 g for 5 min to remove the insoluble components. 4-NPP was dissolved in 1:9 v/v isopropanol:reaction buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl pH 8,0 containing 0.1% Arabic gum and 0.4% de triton x-100). The final reaction mixture was 1:2:1 v/v AERM:pancreatic Lipase solution:4-NPP (10 mM) and was added into wells of a 96-well microplate and incubated at 37 °C for 20 min, after which the amount of 4-nitrophenol released was measured. Orlistat was used as a positive control. Each experiment was performed in triplicate. Lipase inhibition was expressed as percentage and the IC50 was calculated by using GraphPad Prism Software (version 5.01).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
