Investigating the hydrolysis reaction of Thermomyces languinosa lipase activity at the triolein/aqueous interface : Influence of solution pH and surfactants on lipase triolein digestion
The aim of this study is to reveal how the oil-in-water interface of triolein emulsions in aqueous solutions is affected by the lipase activity when using five different surfactants as emulsifiers. For this purpose Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) were applied. Lipases are enzymes that catalyses the hydrolysis of ester bonds of lipids, i.e lipolysis, and act a
