Abstract: | The release of omega-3 fatty acids by the mild enzymatic hydrolysis of sardine oil was studied. The derivatives of different
lipases physically adsorbed on hydrophobic porous supports Hydrophobic Lipase Derivatives (HLD) were tested. These immobilized
lipases can only hydrolyze oil molecules partitioned into the aqueous phase of a biphasic reaction system. HLD biocatalysts
were compared to other enzyme derivatives that were obtained by very mild covalent immobilization on CNBr-activated Sepharose
Cyanogen bromide Lipase Derivatives (CNLD) that behave almost identically to soluble enzymes (CNLD). In general, HLD biocatalysts
were found to be more active and more selective for the release of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) than CNLD. The most interesting
biocatalyst was the HLD derivative of Yarrowia lipolytica lipase, which was found to be sevenfold more active and tenfold more selective than CNLD. On the other hand, the most active
(but non-selective) derivative was the HLD of Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase (PFL). The activity of this derivative was 0.6 International Units under non-optimal reaction conditions. High-loaded
PFL derivatives could be very interesting for the release of mixtures of EPA and docosahexaenoic acid. Hydrophobic supports
promote the interfacial activation of lipases, similar to the interaction promoted by oil drops on soluble enzymes. The most
effective overactivation obtained in this work ranged from 6- to 20-fold. The hydrolytic process was carried out under very
mild conditions (pH 7.0 and 25 °C), and all lipase derivatives remained fully active for at least 15 days under these conditions. |
