Description	Journal: Biocatalysis Applications of lipase-catalyzed reactions, such as hydrolysis of fats for the production of fatty acids and esterification or interesterification of fats and other lipids for the preparation of diverse products in food and non-food industries, are reviewed. At present, the application of lipases in biotechnological processes seems to be economically feasible and appropriate mainly for the preparation of specific products of high commercial value, which cannot be prepared conveniently by chemical synthesis. For example, polyunsaturated fatty acids that can be used in dietetic products are prepared under mild conditions by hydrolysis of marine oils and certain plant oils with non-specific triacylglycerol lipases. Very long chain monounsaturated fatty acids (gadoleic, erucic and nervonic) that are of value in oleochemical industry can be prepared by partial hydrolysis of cruciferous oils with sn-1,3-specific lipases. Lipase-catalyzed esterification yields a variety of products, such as monoacylglycerols that are used as emulsifiers, and wax esters resembling jojoba oil which is used in cosmetics industry. Interesterification of fats with sn-1,3-specinc lipases affords specialty products, such as cocoa butter substitutes which are used in confectionary products and medium chain triacylglycerols that can be used in dietetic products. Phospholipase-catalyzed exchange of acyl moieties or bases of glycerophos-pholipids yields several products of biomedical interest.
