Description
2-Naphthyl caprylate is a chromogenic substrate for carboxylesterase and lipase. 2-naphthol is released upon hydrolyzation. By simultaneous coupling with a diazonium salt, the corresponding azo-dye is formed.
Naphthols can also be detected by fluorescence analysis, and can be used in a colorimetric assay for the extracellular lipase of Pseudomonas fluorescent B52.
