Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleYeast Immobilization on Peanut Hulls for Potential Application in Beer FermentationWaldir D. Estela-Escalante, Sergio Rosales-Mendoza, Mario Moscosa-SantillánThe potential of using peanut hulls as support material for immobilization of yeast cells during beer fermentation was evaluated. After treatment of peanut hulls with 0.5% (w/v) NaOH, FTIR analysis revealed an important change on its chemical composition. For instance, the proportion of lignin decreased and as a result the adsorption of yeast cells onto the support material during fermentation … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 22 Jul 2019 · 8,375 accessesView PDFCite

Parameters … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImmobilization of Lipase from Candida Rugosa on Palm-Based Polyurethane Foam as a Support MaterialRoila Awang, Mohd Rafaei Ghazuli, Mahiran BasriLipase from Candida rugosa was immobilized onto palm-based polyurethane foam (PU), which the polymer was pre-soaked in co-immobilized agent. The activities of PU-immobilized lipase were tested by the esterification reaction of oleic acid and oleyl alcohol in hexane. The PU-immobilized lipase was then characterized in term of its thermal, operational and storage stability. The optimum temperature for native and PU-immobilized … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePotentiometric Biosensor for Highly Toxic Pb (lead) and Cd (cadmium) Detection in Milk Using Layer-by-Layer ImmobilizationZhainagul Kakimova, Klara Zharykbasova, Aitbek Kakimov et al.Milk contamination with heavy metals such as lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) poses a serious threat to public health, particularly in industrial regions. To address the need for rapid and on-site detection of these contaminants, a potentiometric biosensor was developed for the quantification of Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ ions in milk and dairy products. The biosensor functions by measuring the change … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2026 · 1,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePotential Applications of Chitosan Nanoparticles as Novel Support in Enzyme ImmobilizationHoda Jafarizadeh Malmiri, Mohammad Ali Ghaz Jahanian, Aydin BerenjianChitosan is an attractive natural biopolymer from renewable resources with the presence of reactive amino and hydroxyl functional groups in its structure. Due to the good biocompatibility of chitosan, it can be used in magnetic-field assisted drug delivery, enzyme or cell immobilization and many other industrial applications. In the past decade, nanotechnology has been a considerable research interest in the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 11,302 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnti-Stress Effects of Kaempferia parviflora in Immobilization Subjected RatsJintanaporn Wattanathorn, Terdthai Tong-un, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.It is well known that intense and prolonged stress can produce hippocampal neuronal damage and cognitive impairments, few studies have investigated possible ways to prevent its deleterious effects. Here, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of a Thai traditional herb, Kaempferia Parviflora (KP) extract, commonly known as Kra-Chai-Dum, on learning and memory loss and the induction of neurodegeneration in the hippocampus … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 14 May 2013 · 8,677 accessesView PDFCite
