Effect of emulsifier, water content and lipase concentration on hydrolysis reaction. (A) Effect of emulsifier on hydrolysis reaction. The reaction system comprised 2 g of soybean oil, 200 Uw lipase broth, 1.2 g of water and 5% (wt/vol) added sodium stearate at 40°C and spun at 130 rpm. No emulsifier was added for the control reaction. (B) Effect of water content on hydrolysis reaction. The reaction system comprised 2 g of soybean oil, 200 Uw lipase broth, various quantities of water to produce water, oil ratios as indicated and 0.1 g of sodium stearate at 40°C for 36 hours and spun at 130 rpm. (C) Effects of lipase concentration on hydrolysis reaction. The reaction system comprised 2 g of soybean oil, various quantities of lipase broth to produce concentrations as indicated, 1.2 g of water and 0.1 g of sodium stearate at 40°C for 36 hours and spun at 130 rpm.
