The invention belongs to the field of bioengineering and food technology, and discloses a method for enzymatic resolution of chiral substances, including the following steps: (1) preparing an enzyme solution with a lipase concentration of 1-3000 U/mL, and adding a soluble salt, a hydrophilic solvent and a hydrophobic solvent to the enzyme solution to form a three-liquid phase system; the hydrophobic solvent contains esters or amide compounds composed of racemic chiral compounds; (2) subjecting the three-liquid phase system to enzyme-catalyzed reaction under stirring condition; after the reaction is completed, standing or centrifuging the three-liquid phase system to divide it into three layers, which are a upper liquid layer, a middle liquid layer and a lower liquid layer from top to bottom. The optically pure chiral product after hydrolysis is mainly rich in the middle liquid layer or the lower liquid layer, while the upper liquid layer product is another ester or amide product containing an optically pure chiral product. The method has the advantages of low energy consumption, high raw material utilization rate, and mild reaction conditions, and solves the problems of low chiral resolution efficiency, poor chiral selectivity, low recovery rate, and difficulty in industrialization in the existing enzymatic method.
