Phospholipase A1

Phospholipase A1 (CAS 9043-29-2) is an enzyme that cleaves the sn-1 ester bond of phospholipids, releasing fatty acids and lysophospholipids from membrane and dietary lipid substrates.

Where is Phospholipase A1 used?

• Food processing: precision biocatalyst for modifying lipid composition and generating lipid-derived intermediates
• Edible oil and fat processing: degumming converts non-hydratable phospholipids into hydratable forms, improving oil yield and reducing refining losses
• Baking and dough conditioning: generates lysophospholipids in situ to improve crumb structure, loaf volume and dough stability
• Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing: produces enriched lysophosphatidylcholine fractions from lecithin feedstocks for lipid-based drug delivery systems
• Biotech and analytical laboratories apply it as a research tool for lipidomics studies and membrane lipid profiling.
