The usual use for glucose isomerase is to take glucose made by hydrolysis of corn starch and turn it into a mixture of mostly fructose with some glucose. The corn starch is broken down using amylases. The result is called "high fructose corn syrup(HFCS). " 5, record 3, English, - high%2Dfructose%20corn%20syrup

Although some of the earliest reports on immobilising enzymes refer to inorganic supports, in the next phase of development organic polymers were favoured. This was probably due both to the rapid development of interest in enzyme structure and the chemical modification of enzymes, and to the ease with which enzymes could be attached to organic polymers such as cellulose. This was achieved by adsorption(to DEAE-cellulose), and by covalent bonding.... Glucose isomerase has been immobilized through sorption from water solutions by anion exchange celluloses such as diethylaminoethyl(DEAE) cellulose and... pyruvate kinase bound to diethylaminoethylcellulose(DEAE-cellulose) via cyanuric chloride. 3, record 4, English, - DEAE%2Dcellulose

A variety of enzymes have now been adsorbed to modified celluloses(DEAE) which, in two instances, have led to the development of major industrial-scale immobilized enzyme processes. In one case Tosa et al. brought to industrial scale a process in which various amino acylases adsorbed to DEAE cellulose or DEAE Sephadex are employed to convert tonnage quantities of synthetic DL amino acids to the biologically available L-form. Most recently, a process utilizing glucose isomerase adsorbed to DEAE cellulose has been patented and used in the full-scale conversion of corn syrup sugar to fructose. 1, record 6, English, - modified%20cellulose
