Thermogravimetric analysis for support, free lipase, and immobilized derivative.
| Material | Temperature range (°C ) | Thermal degradation temperature* (°C) | Weight loss ( % ) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pure support | 30–200 | 53 | 10.5 |
| 200–400 | 4.9 | ||
| Free lipase | 30–180 | 52 | 4.3 |
| Immobilized lipase | 30–200 | 54 | 13.6 |
| 200–400 | 5.0 |
*Temperature at which a heated sample undergoes a major weight loss.
