Evidence for the presence of several lipases n cow's milk.
Skim milks containing sodium chloride (0.75m) were centrifuged at 80000g for 2hr. and portions of the supernatants were submitted to gel filtration on columns of Sephadex G-200. Enzymes in the effluent fractions were assayed titrimetrically for their hydrolytic activities towards tributyrin, triolein and milk-fat emulsions, and triacetin solution. Summation of the measurements gave ratios of activities towards the various substrates similar to those of the original skim milks. Although only partial separation was obtained, five enzymes appeared to be present. They showed some differences in substrate specificity, but all appeared to be lipases in that they hydrolysed the emulsified substrates more rapidly than the dissolved triacetin.
