Immobilized enzymes are enzymes that combine with inert and insoluble substances to increase the resistance of enzymes towards change in factors such as pH and temperature.
The enzyme molecules will remain in the same position throughout the catalytic reaction and then be separated easily from its product.

Enzyme immobilization technology is used in various industrial application:

Digestive enzymes are used in the medical sector.
Amylase, lipase, protease, and cellulase in bio detergent.
Trypsin enzyme extracts fur from an animal hide to make leather products.
Lactase enzymes are used in lactose-free milk.
