Abstract: In the present work kinetics of inversion of saccharose were studied within the input concentrations of saccharose from 28 to 1533 mmol dm^-3 using invertase conjugated to bead cellulose. Parameters in the kinetic equation reliably predicting experimental results were determined over the studied concentration range. Only small changes of catalytic activity of invertase were observed when immobilization was carried out by the method described.
