Why do we use immobilised enzymes?

Advantages of using immobilised enzymes

Disadvantages of using immobilised enzymes

How can enzymes be immobilised?

Adsorption to inorganic carriers (e.g. cellulose, silica)

Covalent and ionic bonding to inorganic carriers (e.g. C- carriers with carboxyl, hydroxyl amino groups, I- polysaccharides, synthetic polymers)

Entrapment by matrix (e.g. gelatin, activated carbon)

Entrapment by membrane (e.g. polymer based semi-permeable membranes)

Immobilised Lactase

Immobilised glucoamylase
