| Abstract | The purpose of this project is to investigate the thermal stability of enzyme activity within an egg white-based protein matrix to evaluate its potential as a low-cost, sustainable biosensor material. By studying how heat affects enzyme function in a yeast-egg white system, this research aims to determine temperature limits and assess whether egg white can maintain enzyme performance during storage and transport in resource-limited settings. |
