摘要
Due to its major role in maintaining the water-retaining properties of the epidermis, ceramide is of great commercial potential in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals such as hair and skin care products. However, current synthetic approaches for ceramide are tedious and time-consuming for industrial applications. Therefore, it is desirable to find an alternative cost-efficient and highly-yield method for obtaining the valuable products. In present study, the potential of producing ceramide through enzymatic hydrolysis of sphingomyelin with enzyme irradiated by 808 nm light has been studied. With enzyme irradiated by 808 nm light, its activity can be enhanced and reaction speed can be increased significantly.
