A mesophilic bacterium producing a thermostable alkaline lipase was isolated from oil rich soil sample and identified as Acinetobacter sp. EH28. The lipase was partially purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by hydrophobic interaction chromatography with 24.2-fold purification and 57.1U/ml specific activity. The partially purified enzyme exhibited maximum activity at pH 10.0 and at 50 degrees C and was highly stable at 50 degrees C retaining 100% of its activity up to 90min. It was highly stable and retained more than 80% of its initial activity upon exposure to various organic solvents. The EH28 lipase was used for synthesis of the flavor ester ethyl caprylate in organic solvents, thus providing a concept of application of Acinetobacter sp. lipase in non-aqueous catalysis. Reaction parameters best suited for this esterification reaction were 40 degrees C reaction temperature, 1.3:1 ratio of caprylic acid to ethanol and cyclohexane as the medium.

Lipases are one of the ubiquitous enzymes that belong to the hydrolases family and have a wide variety of applications. Cold-active lipases are of major attraction as they can act in lower temperatures and low water conditions because of their inherent greater flexibility. One of the novel applications of lipase is the enrichment of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in plant and fish oils.

Enzyme immobilization is a crucial method in biotechnology and organic chemistry that significantly improves the stability, reusability, and overall effectiveness of enzymes across various applications. Lipases are one of the most frequently applied enzymes in food. The current study investigated the potential of utilizing selected agri-food and waste materials-buckwheat husks, pea hulls, loofah sponges, and yerba mate waste-as carriers for the immobilization of Sustine 121 lipase and yeast biomass as whole-cell biocatalyst and lipase sources.
