Immobilization of Diastase alfa amylase on to synthetic and natural polymers

Abstract

newline newlineThis work reports the use of synthetic polymer polypyrrole and its newlinederivatives and natural polymers coconut fiber and sugarcane bagasse as supports for newlineDiastase and#945; amylase immobilization An attempt was also made to functionalize both newlinesynthetic and natural polymers using Amino propyl triethoxysilane Supports and their newlineimmobilized forms were characterized via FT IR TG SEM XRD BET and EDS newlinetechniques Immobilization parameters were also optimized so as to prepare stable newlineimmobilized biocatalyst for starch hydrolysis newline
