I have produced and characterized bioemulsifier. Now, I intend to immobilize it in alginate beads in order to further assess its stability under immobilized conditions. Reusability of the immobilized bioemulsifier will also be tested.

It depends on the size of your bio-emulsifier.

What exactly it is, a protein or a peptide or simply an organic molecule.

Immobilization on alginate beads is normally considered entrapment and success will depend on the size of the target molecule. I am not sure how oily your medium is, definitely the viscosity would play a role in the success of the experiment

Wish u all the best .
