| Research Abstract |
Novel polymeric macroporous hydrogels were developed to entrap and immobilize enzymes for improved enzyme reaction process. The emulsion-gelation method using emulsions was used to simultaneously synthesize the gels and entrap enzymes in the randomly distributed, non-interconnected, sphere-like macropores. The lipase, immobilized within the macroporous hydrogel and organogel, successfully catalyzed the hydrolysis in aqueous media and the transesterification in organic media, respectively.
