Abstract
An endopectinlyase (E.C. 4.2.2.10) immobilized on a reversible soluble-insoluble polymer was used for macerating fresh carrot tissue. The macerating capability of the immobilized enzyme was found to be similar to that of its free form. Losses of catalytic activity detected in the subsequent biocatalyst utilization cycles seem to be related to co-precipitation phenomena following the recovery of the immobilized enzyme from the reaction mixture. Preliminary studies were carried out on the possibility of removing the inhibiting compounds and subsequently restoring biocatalyst activityI documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
