Optimal Immobilization of β-Galactosidase onto κ-Carrageenan Gel Beads Using Response Surface Methodology and Its Applications

β-Galactosidase (β-gal) was immobilized by covalent binding on novel κ-carrageenan gel beads activated by two-step method; the gel beads were soaked in polyethyleneimine followed by glutaraldehyde. 22 full-factorial central composite experiment designs were employed to optimize the conditions for th...
