Abstract

In the latest two decades, interest for industrial enzymes has increased considerably. Different type of enzymes are used in the textile sector for treatment of natural sourced fibres such as cotton and wool. Beside increased consumption of these biomacromolecules, the textile industry still requires highly stable enzymes, and good performance at extreme values of pH and temperature.

For large extent commercialization of these bio-catalysts, their reusability factor becomes mandatory. Maintenance of their activity during industrial processes is highly significant. Necessity of new methodologies are continously increasing for the immobilization of enzymes with superior activity and usage.
