Abstract:Enzymatic degumming utilizing phospholipase enzymes could be used in ecologically friendly procedures with enhanced oil recovery yields. In this study, two phospholipases A 2 of group I and II, WaPLA 2 -I and WaPLA 2 -II, from the snake venom of Saudi Walterinnesia aegyptia were evaluated for soybean oil degumming after being immobilized on three different support materials (calcium alginate (CA), CA-gelatin (CAG), and CA-chitosan (CAC), and cross-linked with glutaraldehyde). Higher yields of CAC-immobilized P… Show more
