    Abstract: The purified and thermo stable myrosinase from cauliflower seedlings was immobilized by 3.5% agar agar matrix and immobilized myrosinase chips were stored in extraction buffer. After 48 hours 30% enzyme activity was exuded into extraction media from immobilized enzyme chips. Effect of some metal ions and organic solvents on the activity of immobili... Show More
