Comparative adsorption of amylase, protease and lipase on ZnFe2O4: kinetics, isothermal and thermodynamics studies
Abstract The role of enzyme engineering in biotechnol-ogy, biological and pharmaceutical process cannot be overemphasized. This study compared the adsorption ofdigestives enzymes; amylase, protease and lipase on to Zn-ferrite (ZnFe2O4). The metal ferrite was synthesized via asol–gel technique and characterized with scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electronparamagnetic resonance (EPR) and Fourier transforminfrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The adsorption was studiedin a...
