Chelation by collagen in the immobilization of Aspergillus oryzae β-galactosidase: A potential biocatalyst to hydrolyze lactose by batch processes.

This work is the first study of the immobilization of Aspergillus oryzae β-galactosidase (Gal) on powdered collagen (Col) that had formed a chelate with aluminum (Col-Al-Gal). Other collagen treatments, including those with acetic acid, glutaraldehyde, and a combination of aluminum and glutaraldehyde (Col-Al-Glu-Gal), were also tested. High-yield (superior to 80%) and high-efficiency (superior to 99%) immobilization was obtained for the derivatives Col-Al-Gal and Col-Al-Glu-Gal, even at high protein loads (500-1,000 mg g-1 of support). The storage stability of Gal immobilized on Col-Al and Col-Al-Glu resulted in Gal retaining approximately 60% of its initial activity after 90 days at 4 °C. The half-life values of derivatives Col-Al-Gal and Col-Al-Glu-Gal were higher than those of soluble enzyme at 65, 68, 70, and 73 °C. The derivatives Col-Al-Gal and Col-Al-Glu-Gal retained high enzyme activity in batch hydrolysis of lactose in permeate and lactose solutions for 50 and 60 cycles, respectively. Our results suggest that powdered collagen treated with aluminum, a low-cost support, is a promising support for the immobilization of β-galactosidase.
