Production of galacto-oligosaccharides from lactose by Aspergillus oryzae beta-galactosidase immobilized on cotton cloth.

The production of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose by A. oryzae beta-galactosidase immobilized on cotton cloth was studied. The total amounts and types of GOS produced were mainly affected by the initial lactose concentration in the reaction media. In general, more and larger GOS can be produced with higher initial lactose concentrations. A maximum GOS production of 27% (w/w) of initial lactose was achieved at 50% lactose conversion with 500 g/L of initial lactose concentration. Tri-saccharides were the major types of GOS formed, accounting for more than 70% of the total GOS produced in the reactions. Temperature and pH affected the reaction rate, but did not result in any changes in GOS formation. The presence of galactose and glucose at the concentrations encountered near maximum GOS greatly inhibited the reactions and reduced GOS yield by as much as 15%. The cotton cloth as the support matrix for enzyme immobilization did not affect the GOS formation characteristics of the enzyme, suggesting no diffusion limitation in the enzyme carrier. The thermal stability of the enzyme increased approximately 25-fold upon immobilization on cotton cloth. The half-life for the immobilized enzyme on cotton cloth was more than 1 year at 40 degrees C and 48 days at 50 degrees C. Stable, continuous operation in a plugflow reactor was demonstrated for 2 weeks without any apparent problem. A maximum GOS production of 21 and 26% (w/w) of total sugars was attained with a feed solution containing 200 and 400 g/L of lactose, respectively, at pH 4.5 and 40 degrees C. The corresponding reactor productivities were 80 and 106 g/L/h, respectively, which are at least several-fold higher than those previously reported.     

Immobilization of beta-galactosidase on fibrous matrix by polyethyleneimine for production of galacto-oligosaccharides from lactose

The production of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose by Aspergillus oryzae beta-galactosidase immobilized on cotton cloth was studied. A novel method of enzyme immobilization involving PEI-enzyme aggregate formation and growth of aggregates on individual fibrils of cotton cloth leading to multilayer immobilization of the enzyme was developed. A large amount of enzyme was immobilized (250 mg/g support) with about 90-95% efficiency. A maximum GOS production of 25-26% (w/w) was achieved at near 50% lactose conversion from 400 g/L of lactose at pH 4.5 and 40 degrees C. Tri- and tetrasaccharides were the major types of GOS formed, accounting for about 70% and 25% of the total GOS produced in the reactions, respectively. Temperature and pH affected not only the reaction rate but also GOS yield to some extend. A reaction pH of 6.0 increased GOS yield by as much as 10% compared with that of pH 4.5 while decreased the reaction rate of immobilized enzyme. The cotton cloth as the support matrix for enzyme immobilization did not affect the GOS formation characteristics of the enzyme under the same reaction conditions, suggesting diffusion limitation was negligible in the packed bed reactor and the enzyme carrier. Increase in the thermal stability of PEI-immobilized enzyme was also observed. The half-life for the immobilized enzyme on cotton cloth was close to 1 year at 40 degrees C and 21 days at 50 degrees C. Stable, continuous operation in a plug-flow reactor was demonstrated for about 3 days without any apparent problem. A maximum GOS production of 26% (w/w) of total sugars was attained at 50% lactose conversion with a feed containing 400 g/L of lactose at pH 4.5 and 40 degrees C. The corresponding reactor productivity was 6 kg/L/h, which is several-hundred-fold higher than those previously reported.     

Synthesis of galacto-oligosaccharides by β-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae using partially dissolved and supersaturated solution of lactose

The effect of enzyme to substrate ratio, initial lactose concentration and temperature has been studied for the kinetically controlled reaction of lactose transgalactosylation with Aspergillus oryzae β-galactosidase, to produce prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). Enzyme to substrate ratio had no significant effect on maximum yield and specific productivity. Galacto-oligosaccharide syntheses at very high lactose concentrations (40, 50 and 60%, w/w, lactose monohydrate) were evaluated at different temperatures (40, 47.5 and 55°C). Within these ranges, lactose could be found as a supersaturated solution or a heterogeneous system with precipitated lactose, resulting in significant effect on GOS synthesis. An increase in initial lactose concentration produced a slight increase in maximum yield as long as lactose remained dissolved. Increase in temperature produced a slight decrease in maximum yield and an increase in specific productivity when supersaturation of lactose occurred during reaction. Highest yield of 29 g GOS/100 g lactose added was obtained at a lactose monohydrate initial concentration of 50% (w/w) and 47.5°C. Highest specific productivity of 0.38 g GOSh(-1) mg enzyme(-1) was obtained at lactose monohydrate initial concentration of 40% (w/w) and 55°C, where a maximum yield of 27 g GOS/100 g lactose added was reached. This reflects the complex interplay between temperature and initial lactose concentration on the reaction of synthesis. When lactose precipitation occurred, values of yields and specific productivities lower than 22 g GOS/100 g lactose added and 0.03 gGOSh(-1) mg enzyme(-1) were obtained, respectively.     

Enzyme, β-galactosidase immobilized on membrane surface for galacto-oligosaccharides formation from lactose: Kinetic study with feed flow under recirculation loop

The work focuses on producing galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) through an enzymatic reaction with lactose under a partial recirculation loop by utilizing membrane-immobilized β-galactosidase. Cross-linking through covalent bonding, using gluteraldehyde, was employed to immobilize enzyme on a microporous polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. GOS synthesis was carried out in a laboratory fabricated reaction cell, whereby three immobilized membranes were housed in series. The reaction was conducted at varying initial lactose concentrations (ILCs) and feed flow rates at pH 6 and 40 °C. A maximum GOS of 30% (dry basis) was obtained after 60 h of reaction time, 50 g/L ILC, 241 U of enzyme (specific loading of 600 U/g-membrane), and 0.5 mL/min of feed flow rate at 56% lactose conversion. The GOS yield increased with increased ILC and decreased feed flow rate. The selectivity of GOS formation increased by increasing both the ILC and the feed flow rate, whereas the reverse was true for mono-saccharides. The immobilized enzyme retained ∼50% of its initial activity after 30 days of storage at 20 °C, while the native enzyme lost 100% of its activity within 21 days. Furthermore, a five-step, nine-parameter model was developed, and simulated results showed excellent agreement with the experimental data.     

Process development for the production of prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides from lactose using beta-galactosidase from Lactobacillus sp

Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are formed from lactose in discontinuous mode of conversion using beta-galactosidase from Lactobacillus sp. (beta-gal). The discontinuous process was optimized for technical application with regard to GOS yield, enzyme preparation, reaction temperature and substrate source. It proved to be advantageous to directly apply the crude cell-free enzyme extract for the conversion, since similar GOS yields and composition were obtained as when using the pure enzyme preparation, but expensive purification could be avoided. Reaction temperature was lowered to 17 degrees C to limit microbial contamination when using technical substrates. Thereby GOS yield decreased from 30% to 28% of total sugars and enzyme demand increased 2.7-fold. Whey permeate was compared to buffered lactose solution as a substrate source. The initial reaction rate was found to be 1.8 times higher for the whey permeate substrate; however, GOS yield was slightly lower (approximately 25% of total sugar at 17 degrees C) mainly due to smaller amounts of allolactose[beta-D-Galp-(1-->6)-D-Glc] and the trisaccharide beta-D-Galp-(1-->6)-D-Lac formed.     

Production of galacto-oligosaccharides by immobilized recombinant beta-galactosidase from Aspergillus candidus

The preparation of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOSs) was studied using the immobilized recombinant beta-galactosidase from Aspergillus candidus CGMCC3.2919. The optimal pH and temperature for the immobilized enzyme were observed at pH 6.5 and 40 degrees C, respectively. Increasing the initial lactose concentration increased the yield of GOSs. The dilution rate was found to be a key factor during the continuous production of GOSs. The maximum productivity, 87 g/L.h was reached when 400 g/L lactose was fed at dilution rate of 0.8/h. The maximum GOS yield reached 37% at dilution rate of 0.5/h. Continuous operation was maintained for 20 days in a packed-bed reactor without apparent decrease in GOS production. The average yield of GOSs was 32%, corresponding to the average productivity of 64 g/L.h, which implied that the immobilized recombinant beta-galactosidase has potential application for GOS production.     

Optimization and modeling of lactose hydrolysis in a packed bed system using immobilized β-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae

This work studied the hydrolysis of lactose using β-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae immobilized with a combination of adsorption and glutaraldehyde cross-linking onto the ion exchange resin Duolite A568 as a carrier. A central composite design (CCD) was used to study the effects of lactose concentration and feed flow rate on the average hydrolysis reaction rate and lactose conversion in a fixed bed reactor operating continuously with an upflow at a temperature of 35 ± 1 °C. The optimal conditions for the average hydrolysis reaction rate and the lactose conversion included a lactose concentration of 50 g/L and a feed flow rate of 6 mL/min. The average reaction rate and conversion reached 2074 U and 65%, respectively. The immobilized enzyme activity was maintained during the 30 days of operation in a fixed bed reactor with a 0.3 mL/min feed flow rate of a 50 g/L lactose solution at room temperature. Feed flows ranging from 0.6 to 12 mL/min were used to determine the distribution of residence times and the kinetics of the fixed bed reactor. A non-ideal flow pattern with the formation of a bypass flow in the fixed bed reactor was identified. The conditions used for the kinetics study included a lactose solution concentration of 50 g/L at pH 4.5 and a temperature of 35 ± 1 °C. Kinetic models using a PFR and axial dispersion methods were used to describe the lactose hydrolysis in the fixed bed reactor, thus accounting for the competitive inhibition by galactose. To increase the lactose conversion, experiments were performed for two fixed bed reactors in series, operating in continuous duty with upflow, with the optimal conditions determined using the CCD for a fixed bed reactor. The total conversion for the two reactors in series was 82%.     

Fed‐batch synthesis of galacto‐oligosaccharides with Aspergillus oryzae β‐galactosidase using optimal control strategy

Fed‐batch synthesis of galacto‐oligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose with β‐galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae was evaluated experimentally and reaction yield was maximized via optimal control technique. The optimal lactose and enzyme feed flow rate profiles were determined using a model for GOS synthesis previously reported by the authors. Experimentally it was found that fed‐batch synthesis allowed an increase on the maximum total GOS concentration from 115 (batch synthesis) to 218 g L^?1 as consequence of the increase in total sugars concentration from 40 to 58% w/w. Such high concentration of total sugars was not attainable in batch operation because of the low solubility of lactose at the reaction temperature (40°C). Simulations predicted a GOS yield of 32.5 g g^?1 in fed‐batch synthesis under optimal conditions, while experimentally the same yield as in batch synthesis was obtained (28 g g^?1). Besides, an enrichment of total oligosaccharides in GOS with a high polymerization degree (GOS‐5 and GOS‐6) was observed in the fed‐batch synthesis. Experimental profiles for all sugars were similar to the ones predicted by simulation, which supports the use of this methodology for the optimization of GOS synthesis. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Galactooligosaccharide synthesis by active β-galactosidase inclusion bodies-containing Escherichia coli cells

In this study, galactooligosaccharide (GOS) was synthesized using active β-galactosidase (beta-gal) inclusion bodies (IBs)- containing Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells. Analysis by MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionizationtime of flight) mass spectrometry revealed that a trisaccharide was the major constituent of the synthesized GOS mixture. Additionally, the optimal pH, lactose concentration, amounts of E. coli β-gal IBs, and temperature for GOS synthesis were 7.5, 500 g/l, 3.2 U/ml, and 37 °C, respectively. The total GOS yield from 500 g/l of lactose under these optimal conditions was about 32%, which corresponded to 160.4 g/l of GOS. Western blot analyses revealed that β-gal IBs were gradually destroyed during the reaction. In addition, when both the reaction mixture and E. coli β-gal hydrolysate were analyzed by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HP-TLC), the trisaccharide was determined to be galactosyl lactose, indicating that a galactose moiety was most likely transferred to a lactose molecule during GOS synthesis. This GOS synthesis system might be useful for the synthesis of galactosylated drugs, which have recently received significant attention owing to the ability of the galactose molecules to improve the drugs solubility while decreasing their toxicity. β-Gal IB utilization is potentially a more convenient and economic approach to enzymatic GOS synthesis, since no enzyme purification steps after the transgalactosylation reaction would be required.
