4-Nitrophenyl palmitate serves as a colorimetric substrate for lipase and esterase, enabling the quantification of enzyme activity through the release and colorimetric detection of 4-nitrophenol at 410 nm following enzymatic hydrolysis. This compound facilitates the characterization of enzyme activity across diverse bacterial and mammalian sources, including Burkholderia and porcine pancreatic lipases.
1-Palmitoyl-2-stearoyl-3-butyryl-rac-glycerol is a triacylglycerol that incorporates palmitic acid, stearic acid, and butyric acid at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions, respectively. This compound serves as a substrate to establish the stereospecificity and typoselectivity of lipases.
1,3-Didecanoylglycerol is a saturated diacylglycerol with decanoic acid (Item No. 20838) at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions. It has been used in the formation of lipid monolayers in the study of lipases.
2-Hydroxy arachidic acid methyl ester, a hydroxylated fatty acid methyl ester identified in sediment samples from the Harney River and in petroleum ether extracts of I. eriocarpa, serves as a volatile flavoring compound in anhydrous milk fat (AMF). Its presence is diminished upon treatment with lipases lipozyme-435 and TL-IM in a time-dependent fashion. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1710]
