This paper describes the development of a new method to obtain aqueous-core microcapsules from organic-core capsules. The direct production of microcapsules, using tripropionin as organic material, followed by the hydrolysis of the core by a lipase was investigated. The enzymatic

Higher animal's lipases are well characterized, however, much less is known about lipases from primitive ones. We choose the scorpion, one of the most ancient invertebrates, as a model of a primitive animal. A lipolytic activity was located in the

Human pancreatic carboxylic ester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.1), usually characterized by its activity on water-soluble substrates, is shown to catalyze reactions taking place at a lipid/water interface. The inhibition of tributyrin hydrolysis by 1-alcohols follows the pattern of a Langmuir adsorption
Penicillium cyclopium produces two lipases with different substrate specificities. Lipase I is predominantly active on triacylglycerols whereas lipase II hydrolyzes mono- and diacylglycerols but not triacylglycerols. In this study, we compared the kinetic properties of P. cyclopium lipases and human

Bacterial lipases received much attention for their substrate specificity and their ability to function in extreme environments (pH, temperature...). Many staphylococci produced lipases which were released into the culture medium. Reports of thermostable lipases from Staphylococcus sp. and active in
