  • Title: Synthesis of lactulose in batch and repeated-batch operation with immobilized β-galactosidase in different agarose functionalized supports.
    Author: Guerrero C, Vera C, Illanes A.
    Journal: Bioresour Technol; 2017 Apr; 230():56-66. PubMed ID: 28160659.
    Abstract:
    Lactulose synthesis was done in repeated-batch mode with Aspergillus oryzae β-galactosidase immobilized in glyoxyl-agarose (GA-βG), amino-glyoxyl-agarose (Am-GA-βG) and chelate-glyoxyl-agarose (Che-GA-βG), at fructose/lactose molar ratios of 4, 12 and 20. Highest yields of lactulose in batch were obtained with Che-GA-βG (0.21, 0.29 and 0.32g·g-1) for 4, 12 and 20 fructose/lactose molar ratios respectively; when operating in 10 repeated batches highest product to biocatalyst mass ratios were obtained with Am-GA-βG (1.82, 2.52 and 2.7g·mg-1), while the lowest were obtained with Che-GA-βG (0.25, 0.33 and 0.39g·mg-1). Operational stability of Am-GA-βG was higher than GA-βG and Che-GA-βG and much higher than that of the free enzyme, at all fructose/lactose molar ratios evaluated. Efficiency of biocatalyst use for GA-βG were 64.4, 35.5 and 18.4kglactulose/gprotein, for fructose/lactose molar ratios of 4, 12 and 20 respectively, while for Che-GA-βG were 1.46, 1.05 and 0.96kglactulose/gprotein.
