Effects of Enzyme Concentration, pH, Time and Temperature on the β-Galactosidase Activity Immobilized by Chitosan Beads with Material Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present study, the experiments were investigated with the effect of enzyme concentration, pH, time and temperature on the enzyme activity of the immobilized β-galactosidase on Chitosan beads with material properties. The enzyme activity will be measured after completing immobilized and expressed as the absorbency at the wavelength of 420 nm. In the process, there were major differences between the different conditions during immobilization. As the result,the optimal conditions were that adding chitosan beads into 8 mg/ml β-galactosidase solution (pH6.5) and adsorbed 6 h at 25°C.
