Novel Epoxy Activated Hydrogels for Solving Lactose Intolerance
Scheme 1
Grafted carrageenan gel beads with epoxy groups and immobilization of enzymes. (a) Modification of carrageenan beads with chitosan via ionic interaction. (b) Incorporation of epoxy groups to the carrageenan-chitosan. (c) Immobilization of enzymes to the grafted carrageenan-epoxy via –SH, –OH, or –NH2.
