Main Results:

  • Spherical magnetic SENs with an average diameter of 50 nm were successfully synthesized.
  • The SENs exhibited superparamagnetic properties with a saturation magnetization of 14.5 μg⁻¹ and a coercive force of 60 Oe.
  • Encapsulated enzymes showed significantly improved tolerance to pH variations, high temperatures, organic solvents, and long-term storage compared to free enzymes.

Conclusions:

  • Magnetic SENs provide a stable and robust platform for enzyme immobilization.
  • The enhanced stability and performance of encapsulated enzymes open avenues for their use in diverse applications.
  • The magnetic properties allow for potential manipulation and recovery of the enzyme nanoparticles.
