“…It is possible to observe the great variety of materials used for lipase immobilization. Among the hydrophobic materials used, it is possible to find functionalized bentonites including both acid activated bentonite and organically modified bentonite with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (Dong et al, 2013), octyl-Sepharose (Almeida et al, 2018Barbosa et al, 2012b;Galvis et al, 2012;Ghattas et al, 2014;Habibi et al, 2013;Kurtovic et al, 2011;Manoel et al, 2015a;Ruiz et al, 2013;Volpato et al, 2011), Lewatit VP OC 1600 (a macroporous acrylic polymer resin) (Kurtovic et al, 2011), magnetic microspheres with carboxyl groups prepared by copolymerization of vinyl acetate, acrylamide, and acrylic acid (Zhang et al, 2012), hydrophobic silk fibers functionalized with methyl groups (Chen et al, 2012), sol-gel materials based on n-propyltrimethoxysilane/tetraethoxysilane (Hu et al, 2013), hydrophobic magnetic particles functionalized with the organosilane surfactant [3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl] octadecyldimethylammonium chloride , D4020, a nonpolar hydrophobic resin (Liu et al, 2013), a NKA macroporous resin (polystyrene) (Liu et al, 2011;Su et al, 2014), nonwoven viscose fabric coated with methyl groups through treatment with polydimethyliloxane (Weina Li et al, 2011), Sepabeads (macroporous acrylic support) activated with octadecyl groups (Hernandez et al, 2011b), silica aerogels modified with methyl groups (Gao et al, 2010), D152H (macroporous resin, acreylic-divinylbenzene) (Yan et al, 2013), small or large poly-hydroxybutyrate beads (Mendes et al, 2012), porous magnetic polymeric microspheres based on poly(methylmethacrylate-co-divinylbenzene)-Fe 3 O 4 (Meng et al, 2013), octyl-agarose cross-linked with dextran sulfate (Pizarro et al, 2012), polyacrylonitrile nanofibers membrane (Gupta et al, 2013), MSU-H (Michigan State University) type mesoporous (Yu et al, 2013), mesoporous silica with same pore size but with varying particle size (Gustafsson et al, 2012), styrene-divinylbenzene MCI GEL CHP20P porous support (de Abreu et al, 2014;Martins et al, 2013;Poppe et al, 2013), Diaion HP20LX (p...…”
