Two types of lipases (extracellular and cell-bound) were produced by Geotrichum candidum 4013 in liquid medium and were used as biocatalysts in blackcurrant oil hydrolisis. Reaction products were analysed for the degree of conversion from which enzyme activity was evaluated, and the composition of free fatty acids was compared to the composition of oil substrate.
