Abstract:Lipases are recognized as the most important group of catalysts in biotechnology. However, utilization of free enzymes is often hampered by the need for more operational stability, high cost, and non-reusability. Most of these obstacles can be solved by lipase immobilization. This work's objective was to evaluate the performance of the activated carbon obtained from sugarcane straw (SAC) as a support for lipase immobilization. Two lipases were immobilized by physical adsorption on SAC: Aspergillus niger 11T53A… Show more
