Abstract

Crude palm oil (CPO) processing for sn-2 palmitate synthesis requires a specific sn-1,3 lipase to catalyze the hydrolysis step. These lipases are known to be derived from filamentous fungal isolates including Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus oryzae. The purpose of this study was to describe extracellular lipases from A. niger and R. oryzae that hydrolyze CPO. Extracellular lipases were successfully recovered from both fungal isolates using CPO-enriched fermentation media. The crude fraction was partially refined using (NH4)2SO4 and dialyzed, yielding two fractions. Lipase fraction I from both fungal species had the highest specific activity, had a molecular mass of ~30 kDa, and was sn-1,3 specific. The best conditions for enzyme activity of both fungal species in CPO hydrolysis were pH 6-7 and 35 ℃. The pH and heat stability of lipase fraction I in both fungi were relatively low. However, this enzyme worked effectively in benzene, ethanol, and methanol solvents.

Abstract

The rising global demand for palm oil necessitates innovative strategies to accelerate yield improvement and ensure sustainable production. Conventional propagation methods are limited by long regeneration cycles, making tissue culture a more practical alternative that relies on elite ortet identification. This preliminary study aimed to evaluate crude palm oil quality, leaf metabolite profiles, and gene expression as early indicators for selecting elite ortets. Mature fruits were used to assess oil yield, free fatty acid, and β-carotene contents, while leaves were analyzed for chlorophyll and total phenolic content. Based on biochemical screening, three candidate ortets were further evaluated for the expression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) and phytoene synthase (PSY) genes. Oil yield ranged from 77-83%, FFA 5-9%, and β-carotene 200-450 mg kg-1 CPO across candidates. Candidate 3.7 exhibited the highest oil yield and elevated ACCase expression, while candidate 6.12 showed the highest β-carotene content and PSY expression. Candidate 5.7 demonstrated relatively low FFA and favorable chlorophyll levels. These results suggest an association between ACCase expression and oil yield, as well as between PSY expression and β-carotene accumulation. Collectively, these findings support a proof-of-concept for an integrated profiling strategy to select elite ortets for advanced tissue culture propagation.
