The book is a comprehensive review of immobilized enzyme which is
to guide the engineer and scientist along the path toward their
industrial applications. The first section of this book aims to
clarify the principle of immobilized enzymes. Several contributing
factor in an immobilized enzyme system will be analyzed in an
effort to accomplish this objective. Those factors that contribute
to the performance of an immobilized enzyme system include the
carrier, the immobilization technique, cofactor requirements, the
reactor, and carrier regeneration. In earlier days, immobilized
enzymes were carried out using the biotechnology methods, which
were classified as Reverse enzyme immobilization and irreverse
enzyme immobilization methods. Reverse enzyme immobilization
includes absorption, ionic binding, affinity binding and metal
binding. Irreverse enzyme immobilizations includes covalent binding
and entrapment such as encapsulation, entrapping. The technique and
ideal materials selected depend on enzyme process. Several studies
compared the biochemical characterizations of soluble enzyme and
immobilized enyzme. Because of rapid growth of nanotechnology, the
synergistic interaction of biotechnology methods and nanotechnology
methods, various enzymes are immobilized using conventional methods
and variety nanomaterial such as carbon nanotubes, chitosan
nanoparticles and polyaniline-carbon nanotubes. This book also
reports that the development of techniques and support
material/matrix improve significant enzyme activity and increasing
their self life. The remaining content of this book focuses on the
variety applications of enzyme immobilization in industrial
processing such as wood processing, paper manufacturing, sucrose
hydrolysis, lactose hydrolysis and production of glucose syrup
which is further fermented to bioethanol production and
fermentation of food processing. The immobilized enzymes are always
more stable than soluble enzymes, thereby allowing their
applications even under harsh conditions such as pH, high
temperature, non-aqueous solvents and organic solvents, then enable
following their application in extra temperature and humidity
biosensor for detecting pesticide level in food, water and
formaldehyde in pollutant as well as biofuel cell. Beside that,
their applications in biodiesel is also discussed.
