Lipases, scientifically known as triacylglycerol acylhydrolases with the enzyme classification EC 3.1.1.3, are part of the alfa/beta hydrolase superfamily. These enzymes are found widely across different species, including animals, plants, and microorganisms. They have the ability to catalyze the hydrolysis of long-chain acylglycerols at the oil–water interface. Additionally, lipases are capable of facilitating various synthetic reactions in environments with minimal water or in non-aqueous phases. These reactions include transesterification, esterification, aminolysis, and alcoholysis. In terms of industrial enzymes, they rank third in importance, following proteases and [amylases](brain://sOXwaVUA0k-oYF7StKcrqA/Amy…
