4 Conclusions
In the present experiment, the potential application of this matrix in enzyme immobilization is reported. These results have shown that used tea may be effectively applied
as a good supporting carrier for immobilization of alkaline protease. The successful
application of this matrix not only reduces the disposal and environmental pollution
problem as well as will make the process cost-effective.
