Question

Which of the following is a sulphated polysaccharide which is used for enzyme immobilisation?

• A. Cellulose
• B. Gelatin
• C. Carrageenan
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Carrageenan

Carrageenan is a polysaccharide which is obtained from the algae. The polysaccharide contains a linear chain with sulphated saccharide molecules. This molecule is commonly used for the immobilisation of the enzymes by entrapping the enzyme within the polysaccharide. For example, enzyme cellulase.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
