Cross-linking is an enzyme immobilization technique in which enzymes are cross-linked with each other without any support material, so the enzymes act as their carrier.
Advantages of Cross Linking
Produces controllable particle sizes
Results in a highly stable enzyme with higher resistance to elevated temperatures and organic solvents
Minimum or no loss of enzymes
Highly desirable for the purpose of industrial biotransformations because of its high stability, volumetric efficiency, and recycling with optimum catalytic activity
