• (triacyl glycerol hydrolases EC 3.1.1.3) catalyze hydrolysis, esterification, transesterification, thioesterification, amidation, epoxidation etc. [5][6][7][8][9][10]. The use of immobilized lipases is on the rise, as these work well with non-aqueous media [11]. Apart from the convenient handling, these
