Description
Specifications
  • Enzymes have found widespread use in industrial and analytical processes and the products of whole cell metabolism are increasingly important
  • It has been found useful in a number of processes to employ enzymes or even whole cells in immobilised forms
  • The enzymes or cells are encapsulated and the raw materials passed over them, the products can then be collected continuously
  • This kit illustrates the basic principles of the preparation and use of immobilised biocatalysts
  • Experiments include:Entrapment of yeast cells and their use in fermentation
  • Immobilised glucose isomerase ‐ application in the sweetener industry
  • Preparation and use of immobilised invertaseThe kit contains:Bakers Yeast
