Abstract:
Amylase is converted the starch into maltose by digesting it from the non-reducing end and thus producing limit dextrins. This property of amylase has wide applications in food, pharmaceutical, paper, leather, detergent and textile industries. There has been considerable interest in the development of carrier systems for enzyme immobilization because immobilized enzymes have enhanced stability compared to soluble enzymes. This was lead to significant reduced enzyme consumption to increase its reusability for various continuous chemical and biological processes. The present work was showed the immobilization of Glycine max amylase onto variety of activated fabrics (silk, cotton and nylon) whose activation was made by their treatment with sodium chloride and sodium nitrate. Comparative study was done for their {6e6090cdd558c53a8bc18225ef4499fead9160abd3419ad4f137e902b483c465} of retention of activity of Glycine max amylases on to the variety of these activated fabrics.
