chemical proprieties of encapsulated host-molecules.The culture media required for the production of this enzyme usually includes carbon and nitrogen sources obtained byexpensive processes. Therefore, approaches in pursuit of low cost substrates, especially from agro-industrial origins, have been developed with an objective to decrease production costs of CGTase at commercial scales.14–18In this scenario, the use of cassava flour (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a carbon sourcein fermentation processes for CGTase production, has gainedan intense interest. Cassava flour, an agro-industrial product containing 60–80% starch, can be obtained by a simple low cost process.19In Brazil, it is a widespread agronomic product specifically of the North and Northeast regions.20,21Its qualityis directly related to the physical and chemical characteristics of the cassava roots, plant genotype and age, favorable envi-ronmental conditions, harvest period, soil characteristics,genetic variability, and the processing method
