Enzymatic methods of lipid modification, particularly of fats and oils, have developed rapidly since the 1980s. In parallel to the rapid progress in research a wide range of applications have emerged, e.g. in the food industry.The book is written by leading experts in the field and reflects the state-of-the-art of enzymatic lipid modification. It provides the reader with guidelines how to select suitable enzymes and how to apply them efficiently.Applications of lipases and phospholipases, lipoxygenases and P450-monooxygenases and the use of whole-cell systems in lipid modification are described. Cloning, expression and mutagenesis as well as attempts to understand the molecular basis of specificity and stereoselectivity are outlined. In addition engineering aspects and the choice of solvent systems are addressed.

Dieses Buch befaßt sich mit den heutzutage gebräuchlichsten Enzymen, den Hydrolasen. Das wichtigste Problem eines Organischen Chemikers, der alternativ zur klassischen chemischen Synthese selektiv mit Enzymen arbeiten will, ist die Wahl des richtigen Enzyms. Diese Wahl wird ihm mit dem vorliegenden Werk erleichtert. Somit können Organische Chemiker und auch Enzymologen sehr schnell mit der Lösung ihrer Syntheseprobleme beginnen.
