Summary

ADDITION OF LIPASE FROM CANDIDA CYLINDRACEA TO BUTTER CAUSED CONCENTRATIONS OF FREE FATTY ACIDS TO INCREASE WITH INCREASING STORAGE TEMPERATURES 245 TO 279 K (-28 TO 6 DEG C) AND TIMES (0 TO 60 DAYS). THE FREE FATTY ACIDS CONCENTRATIONS IN BUTTERS ALSO INCREASED WITH GREATER NUMBERS OF FREEZE-THAW CYCLES (ONE TO FOUR), ESPECIALLY AT THE HIGHER THAWING TEMPERATURE OF 294 K (21 DEG C). EVIDENCE WAS OBTAINED FOR TWO LIPASES IN A SAMPLE OF RANCID COMMERCIAL BUTTER. THESE LIPASES SHOWED DIFFERENT POSITIONAL SPECIFICITY FOR FREE FATTY ACIDS, AND THE ACTIVITY OF EACH ENZYME WAS EITHER DEPENDENT UPON OR INDEPENDENT OF STORAGE TEMPERATURE.
