This article discusses the isolation of
pancreatic lipase enzyme from the pancreas of Gallus
gallus domesticus. Whereas lipase catalyses the
hydrolysis and the synthesis of esters formed from
glycerol and long-chain fatty acids. Lipases occur widely
in nature, it involves applications like organic syntheses,
hydrolysis of fats, oils, modification of fats, flavor
enhancement in food processing, detergent industries,
pharmaceutical industries, chemical analyses, and
biodiesel production. Pancreatic lipase was purified to
the homogeneity by 70% saturated Ammonium sulphate
further, it was dialysate using the dialysis membrane and
then gel filtration chromatography was carried out by
Sephadex G-75 and DEAE cellulose. The molecular
weight of purified lipase sample was determined by SDSPAGE, it was found to be 98KDa. The lipase was active
in the pH range of 5-10 with an optimum pH of 6.0. The
optimum temperature for the hydrolysis of olive oil was
37ºC in the range of 25ºC - 50ºC.
