Stabilization of Candida rugosa lipase on nanosized zirconia-based materials

- Nanosized materials on the basis of zirconia were synthesized and characterized.
- Lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL) was immobilized on the novel supports.
- Immobilization efficiency depended on structural properties of the materials.
- NanoZrO2-A improved thermal- and solvent stability of CRL.
- NanoZrO2-A-CRL exhibited good enantioselectivity in acylation of (±)-menthol.
