Tóm tắt

The enzyme cyclodextringlycosyltransferase (CGTase) was immobilized in commercial chitosan with different methods of immobilization at different temperatures, with the aim of obtaining a product with improved activity and higher recovery of the free enzyme activity. Three immobilization methods were tested: adsorption, covalent bonding with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (CB-γAPTS), and covalent bonding with hexamethylenediamine (BC-HEMDA). Two test conditions were used, 7 °C without agitation and 26 °C with stirring. The best results were obtained with the method that uses HEMDA as the bifunctional covalent binding agent, giving the highest immobilized enzyme specific activity, 0.263 μmol β-CD/min mg of protein, and highest enzyme activity recovery, 5.2%, when immobilization was carried out at 7 °C.
