Abstract
Recombinant exoinulinase was partially purified from the culture supernatant ofS. cerevisiae by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and PEG treatment. The purified inulinase was immobilized onto Amino-cellulofine with glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking agent. Immobilization yield based on the enzyme activity was about 15%. Optimal pH and temperature of immobilized enzyme were found to be 5.0 and 60°C, respectively. The enzyme activity was stably maintained in the pH ranges of 4.5 to 6.0 at 60°C. 100% of enzyme activity was observed even after incubation for 24 hr at 60°C. In the operation of a packed-bed reactor containing 412 U inulinase, dahalia inulin of 7.5%(w/v) concentration was completely hydrolyzed at flow rate of 2.0 mL/min at 60°C, resulting in a volumetric productivity of 693 g-reducing sugars/L/h. Under the reaction conditions of 1.0 mL/min flow rate with 2.5% inulin at 60°C, the reactor was successfully operated over 30 days without loss of inulinase activity.
