Immobilization of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) pectinmethylesterase in calcium alginate beads and its application in fruit juice clarification

Clarity of fruit juices is desirable to maintain an aesthetically pleasing quality and international standards. The most commonly used enzymes in juice industries are pectinases. A partially-purified pectinmethylesterase from tomato was entrapped in calcium alginate beads and used for juice clarification. The activity yield was maximum at 1 % (w/v) CaCl₂ and 2.5 % (w/v) alginate. The immobilized enzyme retained ~55 % of its initial activity (5.7 × 10^?2 units) after more than ten successive batch reactions. The K_m, pH and temperature optima were increased after immobilization. The most effective clarification of fruit juice (%T₆₂₀ ~60 %) by the immobilized enzyme was at 4 °C with a holding time of 20 min. The viscosity dropped by 56 % and the filterability increased by 260 %. The juice remains clear after 2 months of storage at 4 °C.     

Immobilization of polygalacturonase from Aspergillus niger onto activated polyethylene and its application in apple juice clarification

The present work is focused on efficient immobilization of polygalacturonase on polyethylene matrix, followed by its application in apple juice clarification. Immobilization of polygalacturonase on activated polyethylene and its use in apple juice clarification was not reported so far. Aspergillus niger Van Tieghem (MTCC 3323) produced polygalacturonase when grown in modified Riviere's medium containing pectin as single carbon source by fed-batch culture. The enzyme was precipitated with ethanol and purified by gel filtration chromatography (Sephacryl S-100) and immobilized onto glutaraldehyde-activated polyethylene. The method is very simple and time saving for enzyme immobilization. Various characteristics of immobilized enzyme such as optimum reaction temperature and pH, temperature and pH stability, binding kinetics, efficiency of binding, reusability and metal ion effect on immobilized enzymes were evaluated in comparison to the free enzyme. Both the free and immobilized enzyme showed maximum activity at a temperature of 45 degrees C and pH 4.8. Maximum binding efficiency was 38%. The immobilized enzyme was reusable for 3 cycles with 50% loss of activity after the third cycle. Twenty-four U of immobilized enzyme at 45 degrees C and 1 h incubation time increased the transmittance of the apple juice by about 55% at 650 nm. The immobilized enzyme can be of industrial advantage in terms of sturdiness, availability, inertness, low price, reusability and temperature stability.     

Studies on Pectolytic Enzymes of Molds

The process of apple juice clarification by pectolytic enzymes has been successfully observed turbidimetrically and macroscopically by heating of reaction mixtures. It has been shown that the process of apple juice clarification varies with the varieties and conditions of apple juices as well as with the sources of enzyme preparations. From a study of the turbidimetry of apple juice clarification, α method for determination of clarification values been described.     

SCP and crude pectinase production by slurry-state fermentation of lemon pulps

Single cell protein (SCP) and crude pectinolytic enzymes production from citrus pulps is reported. SCP and enzymes were produced by slurry-state flask cultivation of Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma viride on pulps from lemon juice clarification. Production as well as crude pectinase activity was not affected by the high dry matter content of the pulps. Both the protein content in the residue and the enzyme activity in the supernatant were higher in T. viride than in A. niger culture. The crude pectinase of T. viride, whose specific activity was similar to that found for a commercial concentrated preparation, could be utilized in the same citrus processing factory as well as in other factories which use large amounts of pectinolytic crude preparations, for example to enhance depuration plant performance.     

Shifts in metabolism and morphology of Rhodococcus fascianswhen debittering synthetic citrus juices in the absence of aeration

Rhodococcus fascians showed two different morphologies, coccoid pink (CP) and ovoid white (OW), with different growth kinetics and limonin consumption on citrus synthetic juices (45 mg limonin/l) under non-aerating conditions. In separate experiments, the CP form reached nearly 90% of limonin consumption on citrus synthetic juices at pH 4.0 and absence of aeration whereas the OW form only 50% under the same conditions. Under anaerobic conditions the CP form was transformed to the OW form within 48 h, its limonin consumption being reduced up to 50% after 144 h fermentation.     

Enhanced production of an alkaline pectinase from Streptomyces sp. RCK-SC by whole-cell immobilization and solid-state cultivation

An alkalophilic Streptomyces sp. RCK-SC, which produced a thermostable alkaline pectinase, was isolated from soil samples. Pectinase production at 45 °C in shaking conditions (200 rev min⁻¹) was optimal (76,000 IU l⁻¹) when a combination of glucose (0.25% w/v) and citrus pectin (0.25% w/v) was added along with urea (0.25% w/v) in the basal medium devoid of yeast extract and peptone. All the tested amino acids and vitamins greatly induced pectinase production and increased the specific productivity of pectinase up to 550%. In an immobilized cell system containing polyurethane foam (PUF), the pectinase production was enhanced by 32% (101,000 IU l⁻¹) compared to shake flask cultures. In solid-state cultivation (SSC) conditions, using wheat bran as solid substrate, pectinase yield of 4857 IU g⁻¹ dry substrate was obtained at substrate-to-moisture ratio of 1:5 after 72 h of incubation. The partially purified pectinase was optimally active at 60 °C and retained 80% of its activity at 50 °C after 2 h of incubation. The half life of pectinase was 3 h at 70 °C. Pectinase was stable at alkaline pH ranging from 6.0 to 9.0 for more than 8 h at room temperature retaining more than 50% of its activity. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
