    Continuous Treatment of Diethyl Hexyl and Dibutyl Phthalates by Fixed-Bed Reactor: Comparison of Two Esterase Bionanocomposites
    (Elsevier, 2022) Sanroman, Maria Angeles; Balcı, Esin; Rosales, Emilio; Pazos, Marta; Sofuoğlu, Aysun
    The removal of Diethyl hexyl phthalate (DEHP) and Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is of great importance due to their potential adverse effects on the environment and human health. In this study, two bionanocomposites prepared by immobilization of Bacillus subtilis esterase by crosslinking to halloysite and supported in chitosan and alginate beads were studied and proposed as a green approach. The esterase immobilization was confirmed by physical-chemical characterization. Bionanocomposite using chitosan showed the best degradation levels in batch tests attaining complete degradation of DBP and around 90% of DEHP. To determine the operational stability and efficiency of the system, two fixed bed reactors filled with both bionanocomposites were carried out operating in continuous mode. Chitosan based bionanocomposite showed the best performance being able to completely remove DBP and more than 85% of DEHP at the different flowrates. These results proved the potential of these synthesized bionanocomposites to effectively remove Phthalic Acid Esters.

    Immobilization of Thermoalkalophilic Recombinant Esterase Enzyme by Entrapment in Silicate Coated Ca-Alginate Beads and Its Hydrolytic Properties
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Gülay, Seçkin; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah
    Thermoalkalophilic esterase enzyme from Balçova (Agamemnon) geothermal site were aimed to be immobilized effectively via a simple and cost-effective protocol in silicate coated Calcium alginate (Ca-alginate) beads by entrapment. The optimal immobilization conditions of enzyme in Ca-alginate beads were investigated and obtained with 2% alginate using 0.5mg/ml enzyme and 0.7M CaCl 2 solution. In order to prevent enzyme from leaking out of the gel beads, Ca-alginate beads were then coated with silicate. Enzyme loading efficiency and immobilization yield for silicate coated beads was determined as 98.1% and 71.27%, respectively and compared with non-coated ones which were 68.5% and 45.80%, respectively. Surface morphologies, structure and elemental analysis of both silicate coated and non-coated alginate beads were also compared using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Moreover, silicate coated alginate beads enhanced reusability of esterase in continuous processes compared to non-coated beads. The hydrolytic properties of free and immobilized enzyme in terms of storage and thermal stability as well as the effects of the temperature and pH were determined. It was observed that operational, thermal and storage stabilities of the esterase were increased with immobilization.

    Partial Purification and Preparation of Bovine Lactoperoxidase and Characterization of Kinetic Properties of Its Immobilized Form Incorporated Into Cross-Linked Alginate Films
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Mecitoğlu, Çiğdem; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet
    Lactoperoxidase (LPS), purified directly from bovine rennet whey by Toyopearl-SP cation-exchange chromatography and lyophilized by using dextran as supporting material, maintained almost 70 and 60% of its activity after almost 2 and 5 months storage at -18 °C, respectively. Incorporation of the prepared LPS into alginate films between 0.08 and 0.69 mg/cm2 (516-4325 U/cm2) caused the immobilization of most of the enzyme and gave films with LPS activity between 0.05 and 2.8 U/cm2, determined in the presence of 8 μM H2O2. Between 2 and 24 μM H2O2 concentrations, a two-fold increase in H2O2 concentration caused 1.5-2.5-fold increase in LPS activity of films incorporated with 0.24-0.28 mg/cm2 (1200 U/cm2) LPS. The Q10 and Ea of immobilized enzyme activity between 4 and 16 °C were 1.69 and 34.6 kJ/mol, respectively. However, in the 16-30 °C range, the temperature change had almost no effect on LPS activity of films. The optimal activity of immobilized LPS was observed at pH 6.0, but the enzyme maintained 30-85% of its activity between pH 3.0 and 7.0. The immobilized LPS also had a high stability between pH 4.0 and 6.0. The results of this study showed the good potential of LPS-incorporated alginate films in forming a natural antimicrobial mechanism in different foods.
