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 over emphasized. This study compared the adsorption of digestives enzymes; amylase, protease and lipase on to Zn- ferrite (ZnFe2O4). The metal ferrite was synthesized via a sol–gel technique and characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The adsorption was stu...
