Compared with free enzymes, immobilized enzymes are more robust and resistant to
environmental changes. In addition, with enhanced stability, immobilized enzymes can be …

This review discusses the possible roles of polyethylenimine (PEI) in the design of improved
immobilized biocatalysts from diverse perspectives. This includes their use to activate …

The increasing worries by the inadequate use of energy and the preservation of nature are
promoting an increasing interest in the production of biolubricants. After discussing the …

Enzyme immobilization is an established method for the enhancement of enzyme stability
and reusability, two factors that are of great importance for industrial biocatalytic …

The enzymatic membrane reactor (EMR) consists on a coupling of a membrane separation
process with an enzymatic reaction. The selective membrane aims to separate the …

Sugar esters are non-ionic surfactants that can be synthesized in a single enzymatic
reaction step using lipases. The stability and efficiency of lipases under unusual conditions …

In recent years, green chemistry has become an area of significant research interest. It is
best defined as “the utilization of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or …

This work reviews the stripping off, role of water molecules in activity, and flexibility of
immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB). Employment of CALB in ring opening …

Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB) was covalently immobilized onto epoxy-activated
macroporous poly (methyl methacrylate) Amberzyme beads (235 µm particle size, 220 Å …

Biphasic systems based on neoteric solvents, eg ionic liquids (ILs), supercritical carbon
dioxide (scCO2), fluorous solvents (FSs) and liquid polymers (LPs), represent interesting …
