ABSTRACT
Two general lipase systems have been demonstrated in raw skimmilk within the pH range of 5.0 and 6.6, with optima at pH 5.4 and 6.3. Based upon formaldehyde sensitivity and substrate specificity, four lipase enzymes have been observed, two in each general system. An esterase was observed within the pH range of 5.7 and 6.0 which was inactivated by the addition of formaldehyde. The lipase can be quantitatively removed by precipitation of the skimmilk with rennet or acid (to the isoelectric point).
