Abstract:
Of the immobilization methods tested, alginate beads treated with glutaraldehyde gave the most stable and economic method for immobilizing l-arabinose isomerase for the industrial production of tagatose. l-Arabinose isomerase immobilized in a packed-bed reactor produced an average of 30 g tagatose l–1 day–1 from 100 g galactose l–1 for 8 days.
