Many researchers have focused chitosan as a source of potential bioactive material during
past few decades. However, chitosan has several drawbacks to be utilized in biological …

Chitosan is one of the most abundant marine-based biopolymers. Low molecular weight and
oligomeric chitosans are water-soluble hydrolysates of chitosan. They have been shown to …

Providing comprehensive coverage of the biological activities and industrial applications of
Chitin, Chitosan, oligosaccharides, and their derivatives, this book presents a balance of …

Chitosans with high degree of polymerization and molecular weight exhibit poor aqueous
solubility which is an impediment in their applicability. The low molecular weight chitosans …

Glyoxyl agarose is constituted by quite thick agarose fibres containing a large number of
very stable aldehyde groups attached to the support by very short spacer arms. Under …

Two of the most popular nutraceutical products on the market, omega-3 oil and
glucosamine, were originally derived from waste products. Discarded oil from the …

This paper described that glyoxyl activated supports are only able to quantitatively
immobilize proteins at alkaline pH values and using highly activated supports (otherwise …

Lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens (PFL), an enzyme with a great tendency to yield
bimolecular aggregates, was immobilized via multipoint covalent attachment on glyoxyl …

We developed chitosanase immobilized on amylose-coated magnetic nanoparticles and
utilized it to produce chitosan oligosaccharides. The magnetic nanoparticles used consisted …

Stabilization of enzymes via immobilization techniques is a valuable approach in order to
convert a necessary protocol (immobilization) into a very interesting tool to improve key …
