The performance of immobilized β-galactosidase (β-Gal) onto chitosan support was studied in a batch process. The chitosan support was activated by using chemical agent which was glutaraldehyde solution. The main objective of this research &#13;\nwas to investigate the suitable conditions in preparation of β-Gal immobilization process that will produce greater β-Gal activity. During the preparation of immobilized β-Gal, the optimum conditions were obtained from Response Surface Methodology (RSM).
