“…Moreover, it prevents interactions with interfaces, improves resistance to inhibitors and product purity (Barbosa et al., 2015; Bilal et al., 2018; Cleiton et al., 2015; Rodrigues et al., 2013; Sheldon & Brady, 2018; Sheldon & van Pelt, 2013; Sheldon & Pereira, 2017). For efficient catalysis and yield, the immobilization material must be selected carefully based on its robustness, biocompatibility and recoverability (Temocin et al., 2018). Over the years, lipase immobilization on various support materials such as silica gel particles (Lee et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2010), macroporous resin (Yang et al., 2006), silica nanoparticles (Babaki et al., 2016), nanozeolites (Vasconcellos et al., 2015), carbon nanotubes (Fan et al., 2016), hybrid nanospheres (Verri et al., 2016) and chitosan microspheres (Palla et al., 2011) have been investigated for various uses.…”
