Lipase appears in the blood together with another enzyme called amylase following damage to or diseases affecting the pancreas. It was once thought that abnormally high lipase levels were associated only with diseases of the pancreas.

Why you are choose trybutyrine agar for lipase isolation?

Trybutyrine agar is chosen for lipase isolation because it contains a triglyceride substrate that lipase can act upon, producing a visible precipitation zone around lipase-producing colonies. This makes it easier to identify lipase-producing microorganisms based on their ability to hydrolyze the triglyceride substrate and form a clear zone. Additionally, trybutyrine agar is selective for lipase-producing organisms, providing a specific environment for isolating and studying lipase enzymes.
