“…The versatility of lipases in catalyzing different kinds of reactions associated with their different specificities endows these enzymes with an important and vast application potential (Gandhi, 1997;Sharma et al, 2001;Pastore et al, 2003;Enujiugha et al, 2004;Hansan et al, 2006;Parques et al, 2006;Freire and Castilho, 2008;Yesiloglu and Baskurt, 2008;Isibilar et al, 2008;Polizelli et al, 2008). Lipases are excellent alternatives for classic chemical syntheses with industrial applications, such as in foods, detergents, oleochemicals, pharmaceuticals, fine chemistry, cosmetics and fragrances, paper pulp, leather, biosensors and lipidrich wastewater treatment (Gandhi, 1997;Paques et al, 2006;Freire and Castilho, 2008).…”
