173Nanoheterogeneous Design of Biocatalysts for Biomass Valorization
is successfully unlocked from the cellulosic matrix using enzymatic processes.

β-Glucosidase immobilized on superparamagnetic nanoparticles was reported for
the enzymatic hydrolysis of various biomass sources such as wheat straw, eucalyptus
globules, and pulp with good conversions of 76.1%, 83.6%, and 75.6%, respectively.
80
The immobilization of enzymes provided an opportunity to reduce their costs in the
bioethanol production process.

The enzyme amyloglucosidase physically adsorbed
or covalently immobilized onto single-walled and multiwalled carbon nanotubes
can also catalyze the cellulose hydrolysis.
81
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are ideal sup-
port systems. Obviously they ...
