title: A simple approach for the simultaneous isolation and immobilization of invertase using crude extracts of yeast and Jack bean meal.
abstract: Crude cell-free extract of yeast cells was mixed with sufficient amount of Jack bean meal extract so as to precipitate all the invertase. The precipitate was then cross-linked using 2% glutaraldehyde retaining over 60% of the activity. The immobilized invertase could be reused for over ten batches without loss in activity.
