Addition of a water-soluble polyelectrolyte (i.e. an anionic or cationicpolymer) significantly increases the hydrolysis rateof esters in the presence of lipases, The invention provides a process forhydrolysis of water-insoluble ester in the presence of alipase characterized by the presence of a water-soluble polyelectrolyte, Theinvention also provides a method of increasing therate of hydrolysis of water-insoluble ester in the presence of a lipase byincorporation of a water-soluble polyelectrolyte.
