Abstract

The current demands of the world’s biotechnological industries are enhancement in enzyme productivity and development of novel techniques for increasing their shelf life. Compared to free enzymes in solution, immobilized enzymes are more robust and more resistant to environmental changes. More importantly, the heterogeneity of the immobilized enzyme systems allows an easy recovery of both enzymes and products, multiple reuse of enzymes, continuous operation of enzymatic processes, rapid termination of reactions, and greater variety of bioreactor designs. This review summarizes immobilization definition, different immobilization methods, advantages and disadvantages of each method. In addition, it covers some food industries, protein purification, human nutrition, biodiesel production, and textile industry. In these industries, the use of enzymes has become an inevitable processing strategy when a perfect end product is desired. It also can be used in many other important industries including health care and pharmaceuticals applications. One of the best uses of enzymes in the modern life is their application in diagnose and treatment of many disease especially when used in drug delivery system or when used in nanoform.
