The stability of beta-D-galactosidase immobilized in Arabic gum-based and chitosan-based hydrogels during lactose hydrolysis reactions was investigated. The freeze-dried hydrogel was more suitable for enzyme immobilization, with chitosan-based hydrogel showing higher immobilization capacity. The immobilized enzyme in both hydrogels exhibited better stability in acidic media compared to the free enzyme, an advantage for their application.
The stability of beta-D-galactosidase immobilized in Arabic gum-based and chitosan-based hydrogels was studied during standard lactose hydrolysis reactions. Such studies were conducted considering freeze-drying and air drying methods of the hydrogels, beta-D-galactosidase immobilization capacities, pH values and temperatures of the aqueous enzyme solutions. The freeze-dried hydrogel was more suitable for beta-D-galactosidase immobilization than the air-dried hydrogel. It was associated with the exposure of active sites in the porous hydrogel network. Higher beta-D-galactosidase immobilization capacity was found using the chitosan-based hydrogel compared to the Arabic gum-based hydrogel. beta-D-galactosidase immobilized in both hydrogels was submitted to five consecutive cycles of lactose hydrolysis. beta-D-galactosidase activities in the hydrogels increased with the increase in pH and temperature. The exception was the hydrolysis reactions at 50.0 +/- 1.0 degrees C, during which both the free and immobilized beta-D-galactosidase exhibited minimal enzymatic activities, likely due to denaturation. Overall, the reaction temperatures for the free and immobilized beta-D-galactosidase could be fixed at either 37.0 or 25.0 +/- 1.0 degrees C. beta-D-galactosidase immobilized in Arabic gum-based and chitosan-based hydrogels was more stable in acidic media than the free beta-D-galactosidase. It is an excellent advantage for the application of beta-D-galactosidase immobilized in both hydrogels.
