Agri-Food and Food Waste Lignocellulosic Materials for Lipase Immobilization as a Sustainable Source of Enzyme Support-A Comparative Study.

ABSTRACT: Enzyme immobilization is a crucial method in biotechnology and organic chemistry that significantly improves the stability, reusability, and overall effectiveness of enzymes across various applications. Lipases are one of the most frequently applied enzymes in food. The current study investigated the potential of utilizing selected agri-food and waste materials-buckwheat husks, pea hulls, loofah sponges, and yerba mate waste-as carriers for the immobilization of Sustine^® 121 lipase and Yarrowia lipolytica yeast biomass as whole-cell biocatalyst and lipase sources. Various lignocellulosic materials were pretreated through extraction processes, including Soxhlet extraction with hexane and ethanol, as well as alkaline and acid treatments for loofah sponges. The immobilizatio
