Abstract
The digestion of lipids in the human body has several health and nutritional implications. Lipid digestion is an interfacial phenomenon meaning that water-soluble lipases need to first adsorb to the oil-water interface before enzymatic conversions can start. The digestion of lipids mainly occurs on colloidal structures dispersed in water, such as oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions, which can be designed during food formulation/processing or structured during digestion. From a food design perspective, different in vitro studies have demonstrated that the kinetics of lipid digestion can be influenced by emulsion properties. However, most of these studies have been performed with pancreatic enzymes to simulate lipolysis in the small intestine. Only few studies have dealt with lipid digestion in the gastric phase and its subsequent impact on intestinal lipolysis. In this aspect, this review compiles information on the physiological aspects of gastric lipid digestion. In addition, it deals with colloidal and interfacial aspects starting from emulsion design factors and how they evolve during in vitro digestion. Finally, molecular mechanisms describing gastric lipolysis are discussed.

Abstract
The intestinal production of lipoproteins is one of the key processes by which the body prepares dietary lipid for dissemination to locations throughout the body where they are required. Paramount to this is the relationship between dietary lipid and the enterocytes that line the gut, along with the processes which prepare this lipid for efficient uptake by these cells. These include those which occur in the mouth and stomach along with those which occur within the intestinal lumen itself. Additionally, the interplay between digested lipid, dual avenues for lipid uptake by enterocytes (passive and lipid transporter proteins), a system of intercellular lipid resynthesis and transport, and a complex system of lipoprotein synthesis yield a system open to significant modulation. In this review, we will attempt to outline the processes of lipid digestion, lipoprotein synthesis and the exogenous and endogenous factors which exert their influence.

Abstract
The adsorption of colipase is essential for pancreatic triglyceride lipase activity and efficient dietary fat digestion. Yet, little is known about which specific amino acids in the hydrophobic surface of colipase influence adsorption. In this study, we systematically substituted alanine or tryptophan at residues implicated in adsorption of colipase to an interface. We expressed, purified recombinant colipase mutants and characterized the ability of each alanine mutant to restore activity to lipase in the presence of bile salts. The functions of L16A, Y55A, I79A and F84A colipase were most impaired with activities ranging from 20 to 60% of wild-type colipase. We next characterized the fluorescence properties of the tryptophan mutants in the absence and presence of bile-salt-oleic acid mixed micelles. We performed steady-state emission spectra to determine peak shift and I330/I350 ratio and acrylamide quenching curves to characterize the environment of the residues. The analysis supports a model of adsorption that includes residues Leu 34 and Leu 36 on the 2nd loop, Tyr 55 and Tyr 59 on the 3rd loop and Ile 75 and Ile 79 on the 4th loop. The analysis confirms that Phe 84 is not part of the adsorption surface and likely stabilizes the conformation of colipase. Contrary to the predictions of computer modeling, the results provide strong support for an essential role of Tyr 55 in colipase adsorption to mixed micelles. The results indicate that the adsorption of colipase to mixed micelles is mediated by specific residues residing in a defined surface of colipase.

Abstract
Many of the compounds present in lipid-based drug-delivery systems are esters, such as acylglycerols, phospholipids, polyethyleneglycol mono- and di-esters and polysorbate, which can be hydrolyzed by the various lipolytic enzymes present in the GI tract. Lipolysis of these compounds, along with dietary fats, affects the solubility, dispersion and bioavailibity of poorly water-soluble drugs. Pharmaceutical scientists have been taking a new interest in fat digestion in this context, and several studies presenting in vitro gastrointestinal lipolysis models have been published. In most models, it is generally assumed that pancreatic lipase is the main enzyme involved in the gastrointestinal lipolysis of lipid formulations. It was established, however, that gastric lipase, pancreatic carboxyl ester hydrolaze and pancreatic lipase-related protein 2 are the major players involved in the lipolysis of lipid excipients containing acylglycerols and polyethyleneglycol esters. These findings have shown that the lipolysis of lipid excipients may actually start in the stomach and involve several lipolytic enzymes. These findings should therefore be taken into account when testing in vitro the dispersion and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs formulated with lipids. In this review, we present the latest data available about the lipolytic enzymes involved in gastrointestinal lipolysis and suggest tracks for designing physiologically relevant in vitro digestion models.

Abstract
Bilayer lipid membranes composed of phosphatidylcholine and decanoic acid or phosphatidylcholine and decylamine were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Interaction between membrane components causes significant deviations from the additivity rule. Area, capacitance, and stability constant values for the complexes were calculated based on the model assuming 1:1 stoichiometry, and the model was validated by comparison of these values to experimental results. We established that phosphatidylcholine and decylamine form highly stable 1:1 complexes. In the case of decanoic acid-modified phosphatidylcholine membranes, complexes with stoichiometries other than 1:1 should be taken into consideration.

Abstract
Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is currently the mainstay of treatment for nutrient malabsorption secondary to pancreatic insufficiency. This treatment is safe and has few side effects. Data demonstrate efficacy in reducing steatorrhea and fat malabsorption. Effective therapy has been limited by the ability to replicate the physiologic process of enzyme delivery to the appropriate site, in general the duodenum, at the appropriate time. The challenges include enzyme destruction in the stomach, lack of adequate mixing with the chyme in the duodenum, and failing to deliver and activate at the appropriate time. Treatment is begun when clinically significant malabsorption occurs resulting in steatorrhea and weight loss. Treatment failure is addressed in a sequential fashion. Current research is aimed at studying new enzymes and delivery systems to improve the efficiency of action in the duodenum along with developing better means to monitor therapy.

Abstract
Monolayers of phosphatidylcholine, fatty acid and amine and binary mixtures phosphatidylcholine-fatty acid or phosphatidylcholine-amine were investigated at the air/water interface. Phosphatidylcholine (lecithin, PC), stearic acid (SA), palmitic acid (PA), decanoic acid (DA) and decylamine (DE) were used to the experiment. The surface tension values of pure and mixed monolayers were used to calculate π-A isotherms. The surface tension measurements were carried out at 22°C using an improved Teflon trough and a Nima 9000 tensiometer. The Teflon trough was filled with a subphase of triple-distilled water. Known amounts of lipid dissolved in 1-chloropropane were placed at the surface using a syringe. The interactions between lecithin and fatty acid as well as phosphatidylcholine and amine result in significant deviations from the additivity rule. An equilibrium theory to describe the behaviour of monolayer components at the air/water interface was developed in order to obtain the stability constants of PC-SA, PC-PA, PC-DA and PC-DE complexes. We considered the equilibrium between the individual components and the complex and established that lecithin and fatty acid as well as phosphatidylcholine and amine formed highly stable 1:1 complexes.

Abstract
It is increasingly recognized that changes in the composition of the oil-water interface can markedly affect pancreatic lipase adsorption and function. To understand interfacial mechanisms determining lipase activity, we investigated the adsorption behavior of bile salts and pancreatic colipase and lipase onto digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) monolayers at the air-water interface. The results from Langmuir trough and pendant drop experiments showed that a DGDG interface was more resistant to the adsorption of bile salts, colipase, and lipase compared to that of DPPC. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images showed that the adsorption of bile salts into a DPPC monolayer decreased the size of the liquid condensed (LC) domains while there was no visible topographical change for DGDG systems. The results also showed that colipase and lipase adsorbed exclusively onto the mixed DPPC-bile salt regions and not the DPPC condensed phase. When the colipase and lipase were in excess, they fully covered the mixed DPPC-bile salt regions. However, the colipase and lipase coverage on the mixed DGDG-bile salt monolayer was incomplete and discontinuous. It was postulated that bile salts adsorbed into the DPPC monolayers filling the gaps between the lipid headgroups and spacing out the lipid molecules, making the lipid hydrocarbon tails more exposed to the surface. This created hydrophobic patches suitable for the binding of colipase and lipase. In contrast, bile salts adsorbed less easily into the DGDG monolayer because DGDG has a larger headgroup, which has strong intermolecular interactions and the ability to adopt different orientations at the interface. Thus, there are fewer hydrophobic patches that are of sufficient size to accommodate the colipase on the mixed DGDG-bile salt monolayer compared to the mixed DPPC-bile salt regions. The results from this work have reinforced the hypothesis that the interfacial molecular packing of lipids at the oil-water interface influences the adsorption of bile salts, colipase, and lipase, which in turn impacts the rate of lipolysis.

Abstract
The most widely used pharmacological therapies for obesity and weight management are based on inhibition of gastrointestinal lipases, resulting in a reduced energy yield of ingested foods by reducing dietary lipid absorption. Colipase-dependent pancreatic lipase is believed to be the major gastrointestinal enzyme involved in catalysis of lipid ester bonds. There is scant literature on the action of pancreatic lipase under the range of physiological conditions that occur within the human small intestine, and the literature that does exist is often contradictory. Due to the importance of pancreatic lipase activity to nutrition and weight management, the present review aims to assess the current body of knowledge with regards to the physiology behind the action of this unique gastrointestinal enzyme system. Existing data would suggest that pancreatic lipase activity is affected by intestinal pH, the presence of colipase and bile salts, but not by the physiological range of Ca ion concentration (as is commonly assumed). The control of secretion of pancreatic lipase and its associated factors appears to be driven by gastrointestinal luminal content, particularly the presence of acid or digested proteins and fats in the duodenal lumen. Secretion of colipase, bile acids and pancreatic lipase is driven by cholecystokinin and secretin release.

Abstract
We have synthesized a novel interface-anchoring alcohol dehydrogenase by covalent attachment of a hydrophobic polymer tail to the hydrophilic protein head. Analogous to a protein-based surfactant, this polymer-enzyme conjugate self-assembled at liquid-liquid or liquid-air interfaces to form a membrane similar to other surfactant monolayers. The packing and morphology of the interface-anchored enzymes play an important role in regulating the membrane behaviors including enzyme mobility and interfacial interactions of enzymes with reactant and product molecules. To characterize the surface assembly morphology of the interface-anchored enzymes, Langmuir film balance and fluorescence microscopy techniques were used. The Langmuir isotherm of the interface-anchored enzyme demonstrated a pronounced molecular rearrangement upon compression of the isotherm. This corresponded to changes in membrane morphology and state observed using fluorescence microscopy. The molecular diffusion within the novel interface-anchored enzymes was further evaluated by using a fluorescence recovery after photobleaching technique. We report a diffusion coefficient of 6.7x10(-10) cm2/s. The study represents the first in-depth analysis of surface packing and interfacial mobility of such interface-anchored enzymes.

Abstract
Microbial lipases are very prominent biocatalysts because of their ability to catalyze a wide variety of reactions in aqueous and non-aqueous media. The chemo-, regio- and enantio-specific behaviour of these enzymes has caused tremendous interest among scientists and industrialists. Lipases from a large number of bacterial, fungal and a few plant and animal sources have been purified to homogeneity. This article presents a critical review of different strategies which have been employed for the detection, purification and characterization of microbial lipases.

Abstract
The interaction of a peripheral protein with a lipid-water interface can show a pronounced dependence on the composition and two-dimensional packing density of the lipids that comprise the interface. We report a novel optical method for measuring the adsorption of macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, and smaller solutes, such as drugs, to lipid monolayers at the gas-liquid interface. Using fluorescence emission from proteins and a small molecule, we demonstrate that the emissions from these solutes when in the aqueous phase and when associated with the monolayer can be temporally separated. Such separation allows measurement of the extent of solute adsorption, spectral characterization of the adsorbed solute, and characterization of lipid organization using adsorption kinetics. The method does not require, but is compatible with, the solute having different spectral properties in the bulk and surface phases. Indeed, if optical signals from adsorbed and soluble solute are the same or their relationship is known, absolute surface excess of adsorbed solute can be calculated without independent calibration. With appropriate instrumental configuration, the method should be adaptable for screening solutes for interaction with planar monolayers having both well-defined composition and adjustable lipid packing density.

Abstract
Oral administration of epsilon-polylysine to rats reduced the peak plasma triacylglycerol concentration. In vitro, epsilon-polylysine and polylysine strongly inhibited the hydrolysis, by either pancreatic lipase or carboxylester lipase, of trioleoylglycerol (TO) emulsified with phosphatidylcholine (PC) and taurocholate. The epsilon-polylysine concentration required for complete inhibition of pancreatic lipase, 10 microg/ml, is 1,000 times lower than that of BSA required for the same effect. Inhibition requires the presence of bile salt and, unlike inhibition of lipase by other proteins, is not reversed by supramicellar concentrations of bile salt. Inhibition increases with the degree of polylysine polymerization, is independent of lipase concentration, is independent of pH between 5.0 and 9.5, and is accompanied by an inhibition of lipase binding to TO-PC emulsion particles. However, epsilon-polylysine did not inhibit the hydrolysis by pancreatic lipase of TO emulsions prepared using anionic surfactants, TO hydrolysis catalyzed by lingual lipase, or the hydrolysis of a water-soluble substrate. In the presence of taurocholate, epsilon-polylysine becomes surface active and adsorbs to TO-PC monomolecular films. These results are consistent with epsilon-polylysine and taurocholate forming a surface-active complex that binds to emulsion particles, thereby retarding lipase adsorption and triacylglycerol hydrolysis both in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
To characterize the interaction of peripheral proteins and membranes at the molecular level, we studied the reversible association of bovine alpha-lactalbumin (BLA) with lipid bilayers composed of different molecular forms of phosphatidylserine or equimolar mixtures of these phosphatidylserine forms and egg yolk phosphatidylcholine. At pH 4.5, almost all BLA (>90%) associates to negatively charged small unilamellar vesicles. The conformational changes that binding to these bilayers induced on the protein were characterized by circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy. Because binding of BLA to negatively charged vesicles is reverted by adjusting the pH back to >6.0, we also investigated the conformation of the membrane-bound protein by NMR-monitored H-D exchange of the backbone amide protons. The conformation adopted by BLA bound to these bilayers resembles a molten globule-like state but the negative ellipticity at 222 nm and the apparent alpha-helix content of the bound protein senses the changes in the physical properties of the membrane. Binding to bilayers in the gel state appears to correlate with an increased amount of alpha-helical structure and with a lower extent of integration into the membrane, corresponding to the adsorbed protein, while the opposite is found for BLA bound to vesicles in the liquid-crystalline phase, corresponding to the embedded conformation. A common feature for the membrane-bound conformations of BLA is that the amphipathic helix C (residues 86 to 99) is an important determinant for the adsorption and further integration of the protein into the membrane.

Abstract
Colipase, a cofactor of pancreatic triacylglycerol lipase, binds to surfaces of lipolysis reactants, like fatty acid and diacylglycerol, but not to the nonsubstrate phosphatidylcholine. The initial rate of colipase binding to fluid, single-phase lipid monolayers was used to characterize the interfacial requirements for its adsorption. Colipase adsorption rates to phosphatidylcholine/reactant mixed monolayers depended strongly on lipid composition and packing. Paradoxically, reactants lowered colipase adsorption rates only if phosphatidylcholine was present. This suggests that interactions between phosphatidylcholine and reactants create dynamic complexes that impede colipase adsorption. Complex formation was independently verified by physical measurements. Colipase binding rate depends nonlinearly on the two-dimensional concentration of phosphatidylcholine. This suggests that binding is initiated by a cluster of nonexcluded surface sites smaller than the area occupied by a bound colipase. Binding rates are mathematically consistent with this mechanism. Moreover, for each phosphatidylcholine-reactant pair, the complex area obtained from the analysis of binding rates agrees well with the independently measured collapse area of the complex. The dynamic complexes between phosphatidylcholine and lipids, like diacylglycerols, exist independently of the presence of colipase. Thus, our results suggest that lipid complexes may regulate the fluxes of other proteins to membranes during, for example, lipid-mediated signaling events in cells.

Abstract
Plant seeds store triacylglycerols (TAGs) in intracellular organelles called oil-bodies or oleosomes, which consist of oil droplets covered by a coat of phospholipids and proteins. During seed germination, the TAGs of oil-bodies hydrolysed by lipases sustain the growth of the seedlings. The mechanism whereby lipases gain access to their substrate in these organelles is largely unknown. One of the questions that arises is whether the protein/phospholipid coat of oil-bodies prevents the access of lipase to the oil core. We have investigated the susceptibility of almond oil-bodies to in vitro lipolysis by various purified lipases with a broad range of biochemical properties. We have found that all the enzymes assayed were capable of releasing on their own free fatty acids from the TAG of oil-bodies. Depending on the lipase, the specific activity measured on oil-bodies using the pH-stat technique was found to range from 18 to 38% of the specific activity measured on almond oil emulsified by gum arabic. Some of these lipases are known to have a dual lipase/phospholipase activity. However, no correlation was found to exist between the ability of a lipase to readily and efficiently hydrolyse the TAG content of oil-bodies and the presence of a phospholipase activity. Kinetic studies indicate that oil-bodies behave as a substrate as other proteolipid organelles such as milk fat globules. Finally we have shown that a purified water-soluble plant lipase on its own can easily hydrolyse oil-bodies in vitro. Our results suggest that the lipolysis of oil-bodies in seedlings might occur without any pre-hydrolysis of the protein coat.

Abstract
Egg yolk emulsions containing phospholipids (about 31%, w/w) are classically used as substrates for measuring phospholipase A2 activity using the pH-stat method. Here we investigated the susceptibility of egg yolk lipoproteins to lipolysis by various highly purified lipases of animal or microbial origin. Egg yolk lipoproteins, which contain up to 65% triacylglycerols, were found to be effective substrates for all the lipases tested. The specific activities measured on egg yolk lipoproteins using the pH-stat technique were found to be 8000, 1000, 1250 and 1700 U/mg in the case of human pancreatic lipase, horse pancreatic lipase, porcine pancreatic lipase and Humicola lanuginosa lipase, respectively. No activity was detected in the absence of colipase with any of the pancreatic lipases tested. Consequently, the classical egg yolk assay cannot be considered as a specific phospholipase A2 assay.

Abstract
Variants of membrane-active proteins and peptides are increasingly available through synthesis and molecular engineering. When determining the effects of structural changes upon the interaction of these proteins with lipid membranes, monomolecular films of lipids at the air-water interface have significant advantages over bilayers and other lipid dispersions. In the past year, a variety of protein-lipid interactions has been characterized successfully using relatively simple surface measurements.
