Article Synopsis
- - Iron oxide hydroxide nanoparticles (Δ-FeOOH NPs) are being studied for their potential as support for the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) due to their high surface area and stability.
- - A chemometric approach was used to optimize the process of immobilizing HRP on these nanoparticles by analyzing factors like enzyme-to-NP ratio, pH, temperature, and time for their impact on enzyme activity.
- - After optimization, the best conditions (enzyme/NPs ratio of 1/63, pH 8, 60 °C, and 30 min) resulted in an 82% efficiency for degrading ferulic acid, a model pollutant, demonstrating the
A significant enhancement in the catalytic performance due to enzymes immobilization is a great way to enhance the economics of biocatalytic processes. The soybean peroxidase (SP) immobilization under ferroxyte and the ferulic acid removal by the enzyme free and immobilized were investigated. The immobilization via silica-coated ferroxyte nanoparticles was effective, and immobilization yield of 39%.
