What is it about?
Utilization of Immobilized biocatalysts over chemical counterparts in different industrial reactions possesses technical and clean advantages. The efficiency of immobilized biocatalysts is mainly hindered due to inclusion/adsorption in a matrix. The research article showcased the efficiency of two types of immobilized lipases in an esterification reaction by showcasing the structural and mass transfer effects on the performance of two types of immobilized enzymes.

Why is it important?
The study results help in understanding the structural and mass transfer limitation exists in Immobilized systems which eventually helps in devising the better-immobilized lipases to exert the optimal performance in the biochemical reactions.
Perspectives
As a Bioprocess Engineer, understanding the structural and mass-transfer limitations is utmost important to understand the benign biocatalysts performance in an environment-friendly manner devoid of chemical toxicity. The present research put forth the scientific approach to differentiate the performance of the different types of immobilized lipases in terms of crowding, confinement, and diffusion.
