Characterization of freeze dried crude xylanase on its stability during storage at different temperatures

Most of the enzymes are commercially available in powder form after undergoing freeze-drying process. However, such form is unstable if exposed to humidity at relatively higher temperature for a long-period of time that could affect the stability of the enzyme. Recently, crude xylanase enzyme has be...
