α-Amylase from soybeans was immobilized on two different matrices, Chitosan beads and Amberlite MB-150. Maximum immobilization of 62% and 70.4% was obtained with Chitosan and Amberlite MB-150, respectively. The optimum pH obtained was 8.0 and 7.0 for the α-amylase immobilized on Chitosan beads...detailed
