Abstract(summary):

alpha-Amylase from Aspergillus niger culture medium was immobilised on glutaraldehyde-modified polyaniline (PANIG-AMY) in a yield of 42% activity retention. Compared with the free enzyme, PANIG-AMY was less sensitive to inhibition by Zn(2+), Cu(2+) and Fe(2+). The catalytic efficiencies of hydrolysis of starch (potato, cassava, wheat, maize and rice/maize) were similar for free and PANIC-AMY. Oligosaccharides were formed following the hydrolysis of potato starch by PANIC-AMY whereas the free enzyme produced oligosaccharides and glucose. PANIC-AMY retained 50% of its activity after repeated assay and storage at 5 degrees C and pH 7.0. The thermal stability of PANIC-AMY was increased by the presence of CaCl(2). The repeated batch-wise hydrolysis of potato starch using 5.0 mg of PANIC-AMY (0.8 U alpha-amylase) produced 1.7 mu mol of reducing sugar per cycle, yielding a total of 25.5 mu mol of reducing sugar after 15 cycles. The same yield would require 12.5 U of free alpha-amylase. (C) 2010 The Institution of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
