Detailed explanation-1: -Lipases are digestive enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of fat (lipid, triglyceride) into free fatty acids (FFA) and monoglycerides, molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream [1].
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipase catalyzes the hydrolysis reaction and breaks down ester bonds of lipids and fats and converts into fatty acids, glycerol, and other alcohols (Melani et al., 2020). It is added in the detergents to enhance the removal of fat-or lipid-based stains from the fabric materials without affecting its quality.
Detailed explanation-3: -The enzyme, released into the mouth along with the saliva, catalyzes the first reaction in the digestion of dietary lipid, with diglycerides being the primary reaction product.
