  • Title: Conversion of glucose in lactase-hydrolyzed whey permeate to fructose with immobilized glucose isomerase.
    Author: Chiu CP, Kosikowski FV.
    Journal: J Dairy Sci; 1986 Apr; 69(4):959-64. PubMed ID: 3088075.
    Abstract:
    The maximum conversion of glucose to fructose in lactase-hydrolyzed whey permeate by glucose isomerase was approximately 52% at .1 g enzyme/ml substrate after 7 h incubation at 60 degrees C. Removal of minerals from the substrate was essential for enzyme activity. The dependence of the enzyme on Mg++ and Co++ for activity in the presence of high ash concentration was demonstrated. Optimum Mg++ and Co++ additions were 250 and 100 ppm, respectively. The isomerization reaction was enhanced more when both 100 ppm Mg++ and 50 ppm Co++ were added. Hydrolyzed isomerized lactose whey syrup with sweetness equivalent to sucrose was successfully produced through enzymatic isomerization of glucose in lactase-hydrolyzed whey permeate after supplementation with pure glucose. Fructose in hydrolyzed isomerized lactose whey syrup was effectively separated from other sugars by Dowex 1X8-200 anion exchange resin in the bisulfite form.
