  • Characterization of NPG and lipase-NPG biocomposites using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
  • Assessment of catalytic activity, reusability, pH/temperature stability, and enzyme leaching.

Main Results:

  • Lipase-NPG biocomposites exhibited excellent catalytic activity and remarkable reusability.
  • Biocomposites with 35 nm pore size showed no loss in activity after ten recycles.
  • Enhanced pH and temperature stability compared to free lipase.
  • Prevention of enzyme leaching by matching protein diameter with NPG pore size.

Conclusions:

  • NPG is an effective support for lipase immobilization, enhancing stability and reusability.
  • Optimized pore size is critical for efficient enzyme encapsulation and performance.
  • Lipase-NPG biocomposites show significant potential for diverse chemical processes and biotechnological applications.
