Abstract: | Highly porous nitrocellulose membranes were prepared by a solvent casting technique for the first time to immobilize α-amylase. An affinity dye, namely Cibacron Blue F3GA (CB), was incorporated covalently within the structure. The nitrocellulose–CB derivatized membranes were used for the immobilization of a starch degrading enzyme, α-amylase. Optimum conditions of immobilization for highest apparent activity were determined as pH 6.0, temperature 50°C and initial enzyme concentration 0.317 KNU/l. Under these optimum conditions, maximum enzyme immobilization yield was around 21% of the initial amount of the enzyme in the solution. Performance of free and immobilized enzymes at the same amount was compared for repeated runs. Up to the third use, immobilized enzyme showed higher activity than that of free enzyme mainly due to higher enzyme concentration in the membrane structure, then the apparent activity decreased gradually. However, when regenerated by switching pH to cause contraction/expansion of the structure, the membrane showed the highest activity, almost 2.5 times than that of the free enzyme. This unusual feature along with inexpensive cost may well make the nitrocellulose membrane an economical material for industrial application in glucose syrup production. |
