Please note that none of our enzymes are to be considered as being of Food Grade Standard and are not fit for human consumption. They are only suitable for use in education.Enzymes have found widespread use in industrial and analytical processes and the products of whole cell metabolism are increasingly important. It has been found useful in a number of processes to employ enzymes or even whole cells in immobilised forms. The enzymes or cells are encapsulated and the raw materials passed over them the products can then be collected continuously. This kit illustrates the basic principles of the preparation and use of immobilised biocatalysts.Experiments include:Entrapment of yeast cells and their use in fermentationImmobilised glucose isomerase - application in the sweetener industryPreparation and use of immobilised invertaseThe kit contains:Bakers YeastInvertase 'Bioinvert'FructoseSodium AlginateAmberlite ResinImmobilised Glucose IsomeraseCalcium ChlorideSodium ChlorideGlutaraldehydeBuffer Solution - pH4.5Glucose Testing StripsSufficient materials for 10 students/ student groups.
