2. Aims and Objectives
1. Aim : The primary aim of this project is to immobilize the enzyme β-galactosidase
on a magnetic polymeric particle and on a mesoporous support to compare the
immobilization efficiency and estimate glucose production from the same.
2. Objectives : The bigger picture ?? – the conversion of lactose to its
monosaccharides – Glucose and Galactose .
• Lactose hydrolysis by the enzyme β-galactosidase to alleviate lactose
malabsorption in a large human population.
• Treating whey permeate in dairy effluents to recover the excess lactose and reuse
it for producing digestible products.
3. Future Scope : To synthesize novel nanoparticle that serve as reactor systems and
enhance lactose hydrolysis.
• To develop reactor models for continuous conversion.
3. Introduction : The enzyme – β-galactosidase
• Sources – Plant , Microbial and Mammalian .
•E.C – 3.2.1.23
•Also known as Lactase
•Catalytic agents for transglycosylation and hydrolytic reactions.
• 2 types : Thermo stable and Cold-Active.
• Aspergillus Oryzae , Aspergillus niger & Pyrococcus sp; - Thermo stable 35-80’ C .
• Arthrobacter psychrolactophilus , Pseudomalteromonas haloplanktis – Cold-adapted
0-25 ‘C
Applications : 1. Used in medical and veterinary applications to treat digestive
disorders.
2. Used in studying the structure and function of blood groups containing glyco-
conjugates.
4. The process : Immobilization – The enzyme is said to be immobilized when it is
physically confined or localised in a certain defined region or space with retention of its
catalytic activity which can be used repeatedly and continuously.
Methods of Immobilization :
Physical Adsorption
Covalent Binding
Entrapment
Crosslinking
Reasons to Immobilize : 1. To localise the enzyme and retain its activity.
2. Stabilize it to cater to industrial implementations.
3. Enhance its biocatalytic activity , to convert maximum substrate to product without
inhibitory effects.
Immobilization matrices employed : 1. Polysiloxane-Polyaniline and 2. Ordered
Mesoporous Silica (SBA-15)
5. Polysiloxane-Polyaniline – WHY ????
Properties – 1. Magnetic nature
2. Smaller Size (1 µm)
3. Polymeric composition
So ?? - The magnetic nature helps in separation in a magnetised fluidised bed
reactor .
Smaller Size helps in effective entrapment and binding of the enzyme-
substrate due to its large surface area .
Polymeric composition is necessary so that there are many functional groups
to attach itself covalently to the incoming enzyme/substrate .
Mesoporous Silica : Properties – 1. 2 nm- 50 nm .
2. Ordered – rod shaped morphology
3. SBA-15 particles prepared from triblock non-
ionic copolymerization
So ?? - Mesoporous nature effective in binding of enzyme .
Activation : Glutaraldehyde is used as an activating agent for the magnetic particle.
Ethylenediamine and Glutaraldehyde are used as activators for
Mesoporous particles .

24. CONCLUSIONS
•Both prove to be equally competent but the magnetic POS-PANI particles seem to take an upper hand in
the immobilization efficacy.
•In the estimation of Kinetic parameters , Activated Mesoporous support has a Km of 33.33 mM which is
ideal for binding but has very less Vm value = 0.06mmol/ml/min through the Lineweaver Plot .
•For the Activated mPOS-PANI supports , a Km = 144.9 mM and a Vm = 0.125 mmol/ml/min has been
achieved through the Lineweaver Burke Plot , so the particles have a greater binding strength and reactive
surface area for it to covalently accommodate the enzyme and substrate .
• Variation of pH for the mPOS-PANI particles elucidates its increase in activity within this short range
which means it opens up to more substrate when the pH changes . While the Mesoporous supports show
very less activity variation within that range and hence the effect of pH has no profound significance on its
surface characteristics.
•As Reaction time proceeds, both the particles show high activity at the start of time but as the reaction
proceeds , the activity decreases . Compared to the Free and Mesoporous support activated enzyme , the
mPOS-PANI particles show less percentage reduction in activity which means the retention is not much
affected and can be proved to be stable over a larger amount of time .
•Glucose production is maximum in 200 mM for both the activated and non-activated mPOS-PANI
supports which shows that activation has no significant reduction in lactose hydrolysis though a little
increase is shown in the activated particle .The activated mesoporous supports show reduced glucose
production than the Non-activated one which means there could be some hindrance in the conversion
preventing product formation. s
Overall , the mPOS-PANI support proves conclusively to be the best support for immobilization owing
to all the above results shown .
