Acidic phospholipase, production and methods using thereof
An acidic phospholipase is obtained from a strain of the genus Hyphozyma. It is able to hydrolyze both fatty acyl groups in intact phospholipid. Advantageously, it has no lipase activity and is active at very low pH; these properties make it very suitable for use in oil degumming, as enzymatic and a...

Summary: | An acidic phospholipase is obtained from a strain of the genus Hyphozyma. It is able to hydrolyze both fatty acyl groups in intact phospholipid. Advantageously, it has no lipase activity and is active at very low pH; these properties make it very suitable for use in oil degumming, as enzymatic and alkaline hydrolysis (saponification) of the oil can both be suppressed. The phospholipase is not membrane bound, making it suitable for commercial production and purification. |
