MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipase is an enzyme the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lipases are the most established biocatalysts used for the synthesis of structured triacylglycerols, fats, and margarine and for the release of flavoring fatty acids for food applications.

Detailed explanation-3: -1.3) refer to a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the glycerol esters present in long-chain fatty acids (triglycerides) into -monoglyceride and two free fatty acids (Fig. 33.3). Several types of lipases have been identified, such as lipoprotein lipase, hepatic lipase, and pancreatic lipase.
