Naturally-derived biopolymers such as alginate, chitosan, cellulose, agarose, guar
gum/guaran, agar, carrageenan, gelatin, dextran, xanthan, and pectins, etc. have appealed …

In this study, a biocompatible chitosan/montmorillonite (CS/MMT) composite microsphere
was developed as a carrier for loading and sustained-release of the hydrophobic drug of …

A new bioprocess for the synthesis of lactosucrose was studied using a covalently
immobilized β-galactosidase on macrospheres of chitosan. The effects of temperature and …

The best support reported for dextransucrase (DS) and dextranase (DN) immobilization was
Eupergit C, but this carrier was discontinued and is no longer available in the market. Thus …

This chapter presents the current and potential applications of chitosan and its derivatives in
food processing. Chitosan is a polysaccharide obtained from partial or full deacetylation of …

Co-immobilization is a groundbreaking technique for enzymatic catalysis, sometimes
strategic, as for dextransucrase and dextranase. In this approach, dextranase hydrolytic …

Objectives Diversity in backbone polymer composition makes hydrogel-based resources
open to broad spectrum of applications. Biomacromolecules which have reactive functional …

We describe the development of cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEA) of dextransucrase
of Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512 F. Treatments of enzyme preparation using …

This chapter focuses on the contemporary research trends, scientific developments, and
future perspective of biopolymers and their potential applications for bio-and non-bio …

The aim of this research was to compare the effect of free and immobilized Lysozyme on the
physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of sodium caseinate (SC) based active films …
