Biotechnological Applications of Lipases in Flavour and Fragrance Ester Production

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbial Technology for the Welfare of Society

Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 17))

Abstract

Lipases are of widespread occurrence throughout the Earth’s flora and fauna. However, microbial flora comprising bacteria, fungi and yeast has drawn more attention in biotechnological applications. Lipases (EC 3.1.1.3) include the hydrolase family of enzymes that possess the unique feature of acting as an interface between the aqueous and non-aqueous phases, and this feature distinguishes them from esterase. Owing to the most versatile biocatalyst, they bring about a range of bioconversion reactions such as hydrolysis, interesterification, esterification, alcoholysis, acidolysis and aminolysis.

Lipase is drawing attention due to its potential applications for flavour and fragrance ester synthesis. Flavour and fragrance ester synthesis by biotechnological processes plays nowadays an increasing role in the food- and pharmaceutical-based industries. This is the result, amongst other things, of scientific advances in biological processes, making use of microorganisms or enzymes as an alternative to chemical synthesis, combined with recent developments in analytical techniques. In this chapter, a comprehensive and illustrious survey is made of the applied aspects of microbial lipases in flavour and fragrance ester synthesis.
