Microparticles of medium- and high-molecular mass (MM) chitosan with and without ascorbic acid were obtained. Complexes of these microparticles with the plant enzyme papain were formed. The enzyme activity decreased by ?8% as compared to free papain upon formation of papain complexes with medium- and high-MM chitosan microparticles free of ascorbic acid. The papain activity increased by 18 and 10%, respectively, upon complexation in the presence of ascorbic acid. The free enzyme retained 15% of its catalytic activity after incubation for 168 h in Tris-HCl buffer (0.05 M, pH 7.5) at 37°C while the complexes with chitosan microparticles exhibited ~30% of their catalytic activity; the complex of papain with high-MM chitosan microparticles in the presence of ascorbic acid, 40%.
