Article Description

Immobilisation of β-glucosidase, isolated from Aspergillus niger, by entrapment in both calcium alginate and polyacrylamide gels was studied. A retention of 66% of initial activity was observed in the alginate beads prepared with 3% (w/v) alginate, 0.2 m CaCl 2 and 1 h of treatment. The maximum β-glucosidase activity in polyacrylamide gels (∼55%) was achieved in gels prepared with 20% acrylamide and 1.2% of crosslinking agent (bisacrylamide).
