Enzymes encapsulation within calcium alginate-clay beads: Characterization and application for cassava slurry saccharification

Multi-enzymes (alpha-amylase, glucoamylase and cellulase) were successfully encapsulated in calcium alginate-clay beads to hydrolyze cassava roots for glucose production. Under the optimal conditions (2% clay solution and 0.2 M CaCl2), the loading efficiency and the immobilization yield of enzymes w...
