Encapsulation of alpha-amylase into starch-based biomaterials: an enzymatic approach to tailor their degradation rate
This paper reports the effect of a-amylase encapsulation on the degradation rate of a starch-based biomaterial. The encapsulation method consisted in mixing a thermostable a-amylase with a blend of corn starch and polycaprolactone (SPCL), which were processed by compression moulding to produce circu...
