Biocatalytic properties of lipase in crude latex from babaco fruit (Carica pentagona)

Biocatalytic activities in proteolysis, lipolysis and interesterification reactions were studied for crude latex from the subtropical plant #Carica pentagona#. The results reveal that crude #Carica pentagona# latex exhibits equivalent proteolytic activities (5.73 units mg-1) and lipolytic activities (1.01 units mg-1) compared to the well-known #Carica papaya#, the commercially source for papain (4.57 units mg-1 and 0.90 units mg-1 respectively). Therefore, in interesterification reactions, #Carica pentagona# latex shows interesting lipase properties (0.77 units mg-1) higher than commercial #Carica papaya# latex (0.28 units mg-1).
