The absorbance change (at 405 nm) over time as a measure of lipase activity (olive oil substrate). ▴ – Lipase control (lipase plus substrate), ▾ – alginate SF200 at 3.43 mg/ml (as an example) and ■ – inhibition control 0.025 mg/ml orlistat. The error bars show the standard error of the mean of three replicates. All enzyme inhibition was calculated with data from 12 min.
