Abstract
ABSTRACT A xylanase-producing bacterium Bacillus pumilus K22 was isolated from hot spring located in Manghopir area, Karachi, Pakistan. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by acetone precipitation and size exclusion chromatography. The molecular weight was determined to be approximately 24 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The purified xylanase retained its activity at wide range of temperature (20-70°C) and pH (5.0–10.0) with maximum stability at 50°C and pH 8.0. Xylanase activity was inhibited by Zn2+, Cu2+, and Hg2+ metal ions while it remained stable in the presence of Mn2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+. The activity was also inhibited by chemical reagents such as EDTA, PMSF, and β-mercaptoethanol. The enzyme was stable in the presence of all organic solvents (20%) except formaldehyde and glycerol, which inhibited its activity. Treatment of tomato pulp with purified xylanase-increased juice yield (30%), clarity (9%), and reducing sugars (69%), indicating an improvement in physico-chemical characteristics of the tomato pulp.
期刊介绍:
Food Biotechnology is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is focused on current and emerging developments and applications of modern genetics, enzymatic, metabolic and systems-based biochemical processes in food and food-related biological systems. The goal is to help produce and improve foods, food ingredients, and functional foods at the processing stage and beyond agricultural production.
Other areas of strong interest are microbial and fermentation-based metabolic processing to improve foods, food microbiomes for health, metabolic basis for food ingredients with health benefits, molecular and metabolic approaches to functional foods, and biochemical processes for food waste remediation. In addition, articles addressing the topics of modern molecular, metabolic and biochemical approaches to improving food safety and quality are also published.
Researchers in agriculture, food science and nutrition, including food and biotechnology consultants around the world will benefit from the research published in Food Biotechnology. The published research and reviews can be utilized to further educational and research programs and may also be applied to food quality and value added processing challenges, which are continuously evolving and expanding based upon the peer reviewed research conducted and published in the journal.
