Article Synopsis
- - The study explores using corncob, a lignocellulosic agro-residue, to produce xylitol by first converting it into fermentable sugars through the immobilization of the enzyme Aspergillus labruscus xylanase.
- - The most effective support for enzyme immobilization was DEAE-Cellulose, achieving up to 99% efficiency, and allowed for multiple uses, yielding 2.7 mg/mL of xylose after 48 hours of hydrolysis.
- - The xylose derived from corncob was fermented by Candida tropicalis, resulting in a production of 1.02 mg/mL of xylitol after 48 hours, marking a significant advance in using corncob
Enzyme immobilization is an important alternative to stabilize enzyme properties favoring the efficiency of derivatives (enzyme + support/matrix) for different purposes. According to this, the current study aimed to immobilize the CAS21 tannase and the use of the derivatives in the treatment of the effluent produced by the tannery industry. The tannase was immobilized on sodium alginate, DEAE-Sephadex, amberlite, and glass pearls as supports.
