Glutaraldehyde is one of the most widely used reagents in the design of biocatalysts. It is a
powerful crosslinker, able to react with itself, with the advantages that this may bring forth. In …

Nanotechnology is an area that has been growing over the years, being possible nowadays
to find numerous materials constructed at nanoscale. In addition, many applications have …

Nanostructures are very attractive for enzymatic immobilization processes, since they
possess ideal characteristics to equilibrate principal factors which determine biocatalysts …

In order to develop safer processes for the food industry, we prepared a chitosan support
with the naturally occurring crosslinking reagent, genipin, for enzyme. As application model …

Application of nanomaterials as novel supporting materials for enzyme immobilisation has
generated incredible interest in the biotechnology community. These robust nanostructured …

Crosslinked chitosan was prepared by Schiff base formation between the aldehyde groups
of dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) and the amino groups of chitosan and a subsequent …

In this work, a deep structural characterization of the chitosan-genipin complex was
performed by techniques like small-angle X-ray scattering, dye absorption, atomic force …

Immobilized enzymes are better suited for industrial applications than free enzymes due to
their favorable properties such as ease of separation and reuse, and enhanced stability and …

Background Approximately 70% of adults worldwide are affected by lactose malabsorption.
Symptomatic lactose malabsorption is also known as lactose intolerance characterized by …

In this review, we present an overview of the different renewable polymers that are currently
being used as matrixes for enzyme immobilization and their properties and of new …
