Optimization of fructose-rich syrups production from Opuntia ficus-indica inulin using immobilized inulinase on Luffa cylindrical

BACKGROUND Luffa cylindrica has numerous domestic and industrial uses. For example, this natural fiber supports immobilization through the covalent bonding of an inulinase. In addition, fructose syrup from crude inulin obtained from prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) can be obtained in a plug-flow mini ...

Optimal immobilization of Beta-glucosidase into chitosan beads using response surface methodology

Electron. j. biotechnol; 16 (6), 2013
Background: β-Glucosidase is known as an effective catalyst for the hydrolysis of various glycosides and immobilization is one of the most efficient strategies to improve its activity recovery and properties. Results: Crosslinking-adsorption-crosslinking method was employed to immobilize β-gluc...

Immobilization of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase on aminopropyl-functionalized silica-coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles

Electron. j. biotechnol; 16 (6), 2013
Background: Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Amphibacillus sp. NPST-10 was successfully covalently immobilized on aminopropyl-functionalized silica coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles; and the properties of immobilized enzyme were investigated. The synthesis process included preparing of...
