Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOD) was encapsulated within calcium alginate gel capsules . The effects of gelation conditions on capsule characteristics such as thi ckness. percentage of enzyme leakage and encapsulation efficiency were stud ied and the optimal conditions for GOD encapsulation obtained. Oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. (C) 2001 Else vier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
