Abstract
Lipase is supported on a carrier material, which may hydrophobic or formed of an ion-exchange resin, by adsorbing to the carrier the lipase and a substantial coating of a non-lipase protein such as ovalbumin, bovine serum albumin or sodium caseinate. The protein is applied simultaneous with or prior to the lipase. The protein coating improves the activity of the enzyme especially with respect to its use in esterification and inter-esterification reactions.
