Among the four species of Aspergillus, Aspergillus oryzea lipase demonstrates high preference towards medium chain triacylglycerols (C10) and discriminates against triunsaturated triacylglycerol (TAG) e.g. triolein. The great discriminating power of its lipase against triolein was shown in compariso...
