Covalent Immobilization of L-Asparaginase and Optimization of Its Enzyme Reactor for Reducing Acrylamide Formation in a Heated Food Model System

Acrylamide is a potent carcinogen and neurotoxin that is mainly formed by the Maillard reaction of asparagine with starch at high temperatures. In this work, a food safety immobilization system for L-asparaginase (L-ASNase) consisting of food-grade agarose (Aga) spheres and N-hydroxysuccinimide este...
