LIPASE IMMOBILIZED IN CALCIUM CARBONATE MICROCAPSULE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique of a lipase-encapsulated calcium carbonate material which encapsulates and immobilizes lipase in a calcium carbonate to be an immobilized enzyme material and can be used as a catalyst for an enzyme reaction in an aqueous solution and an organic solvent.SOLUTION: There is provided a method for producing a lipase-encapsulated calcium carbonate particle mainly consisting of a metastable phase or being amorphous, in which the calcium carbonate particle which mainly consists of the metastable phase selected from a group comprising a vaterite phase and an aragonite phase, or the amorphous calcium carbonate particle is immersed in a lipase solution.
