DESCRIPTION

Immobilization of lipases on new inorganic and polymeric solids (e.g., magnetic chitosan, polyethylene attached to aluminium) to be used as supported biocatalysts.

APPLICATIONS

Pharmaceutics | Food | Biorefineries | Cosmetics |

ADVANTAGES

• Green, environmentally friendly inmobilization process
• High activity and selectivity in test reactions
• Ad-hoc design of immobilization methodology considering the particular protein
• Easily tailored to specific uses and conditions
• Possibility of immobilizing lipases onto magnetic supports

DEVELOPMENT STATUS

Laboratory scale completely developed.
