[en] Fingermarks remain as important individual characteristic evidence for identifying individuals during forensic investigations. However, the assessment of latent fingermarks can be challenging due to their hidden nature, necessitating the development of suitable visualization methods. Currently, the available methods for visualizing fingermarks on wet non-porous objects (e.g., Small Particle Reagent) contain hazardous and toxic chemicals. As such, the utilization of Candida rugosa lipase nanoconjugate for developing a greener forensic fingermark visualization technology for wet non-porous objects has been suggested. Notwithstanding, the utilization of other microbial lipases for the same purpose remains unreported. Considering such an aspect, reviewing the potential of the different microbial lipases as candidates for fingermark visualization technology proves relevant. Hence, this review article that accentuates the contextual importance of microbial lipases for greener fingermark visualization technology complying with the prevailing guidelines and its challenges and future insights for forensic investigations merits scientific and forensic considerations.
