Amylase immobilization on calcined-kaolin and sodium alginate beads

The objective of this research was to study the techniques for α-amylase immobilization on two different support materials. α-Amylase from Bacillus sp was immobilized by two different techniques which were physical adsorption onto calcined-kaolin and entrapment in sodium alginate beads. The advantag...
