Abstract
Lipases are indispensable enzymes with a wide array of industrial applications. They excel at breaking down triglycerides and are essential in food processing, cleaning agents, biofuel production, environmental remediation, and pharmaceuticals. Microbial sources, particularly bacteria and fungi, dominate lipase production due to their high efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ability to target specific molecular structures. The advent of genetic engineering has further revolutionized lipase production by enabling the development of tailored enzymes that meet precise industrial needs. As eco-friendly biological catalysts, lipases are pivotal in advancing sustainable and resource-efficient practices, offering significant advantages over traditional chemical methods. Their role in innovation spans increased efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and enhanced specificity across multiple sectors. These qualities establish lipases as vital tools in modern biotechnology, reinforcing their ongoing significance in fostering industrial progress and environmental stewardship.
