Abstract

Lipase is one of the well-known industrially useful enzymes, as it can catalyze different reactions including hydrolysis of triglycerides. Lipases perform essential roles in digestion and process and transport of dietary lipids in most living organisms. So, to solve the issue of high fat in human body, we came up with a solution by studying the lipase activity of the most commonly available food to us, that is, nuts, to find which nut shows better lipase activity, for providing an easy and organic solution to obesity.In our current study, we have found the lipase activity at different temperatures in three of the most common and available nuts in the market to find their optimum temperature range for lipase activity. We have also conducted an overall study to find which of the sample nuts have better lipase activity overall in comparison to the other samples.
