The binding efficiency reached 80% and no enzyme leaching was observed even under vigorous mechanical agitation. Immobilization did not change the pH optimum of lactose hydrolysis. The enzyme decay followed first-order kinetics and the thermal stability of the immobilized lactase was considerably enhanced. At 50 °C and pH 3.6 the half-life of the immobilized lactase was 180 days and that of the free enzyme 24 days. The kinetics of lactose hydrolysis by both free and immobilized lactase were studied in a batch reactor system in the absence of any mass transfer limitations. In both cases the totally competitive galactose inhibition kinetic model predicted the experimental data. Simulation of the performance of a laboratory continuous flow immobilized lactase reactor system showed that experimental results could be predicted by the ideal plug flow model when an apparent effectiveness factor <em>n</em><sub>f</sub>=0.65 is used to take into account the external mass transfer limitations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101225,"journal":{"name":"The Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"52 1","pages":"Pages B1-B12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0300-9467(93)80044-O","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"53641987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
