Chapter 16: Immobilization of Aspergillus niger glucoamylase on epoxy activated Supports

Abstract

Firstly, in the present study, ANGA was covalently immobilized onto Eupergit CM with 100.00 % immobilization and 100.00 % activity yield by optimizing the immobilization conditions. This result is the best between the immobilization studies of ANGA in the literature. Secondly, the immobilized ANGA obtained in this study showed higher usage and storage stabilities than the ANGAs immobilized on another supports in previous studies in the related literature. Thirdly, maltodextrin was completely converted to glucose by using immobilized ANGA. Consequently, it can be said that immobilized ANGA obtained in the present study can be used in the production of glucose syrup from maltodextrin.
