Chalella Mazzocato M, Jacquier JC. Recent Advances and Perspectives on Food-Grade Immobilisation Systems for Enzymes. Foods 2024; 13:2127. [PMID: 38998633 PMCID: PMC11241248 DOI: 10.3390/foods13132127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The use of enzyme immobilisation is becoming increasingly popular in beverage processing, as this method offers significant advantages, such as enhanced enzyme performance and expanded applications, while allowing for easy process termination via simple filtration. This literature review analysed approximately 120 articles, published on the Web of Science between 2000 and 2023, focused on enzyme immobilisation systems for beverage processing applications. The impact of immobilisation on enzymatic activity, including the effects on the chemical and kinetic properties, recyclability, and feasibility in continuous processes, was evaluated. Applications of these systems to beverage production, such as wine, beer, fruit juices, milk, and plant-based beverages, were examined. The immobilisation process effectively enhanced the pH and thermal stability but caused negative impacts on the kinetic properties by reducing the maximum velocity and Michaelis-Menten constant. However, it allowed for multiple reuses and facilitated continuous flow processes. The encapsulation also allowed for easy process control by simplifying the removal of the enzymes from the beverages via simple filtration, negating the need for expensive heat treatments, which could result in product quality losses.

Abstract
Whey protein isolate (WPI) was incorporated within calcium pectinate (CPT) beads in order to boost their anionic qualities and meliorate their glutaraldehyde (GA)-polyethyleneimine (PEI) grafting process. The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) verified that WPI inclusion significantly raised the GA-PEI-CPT-WPI beads immobilized β-D-galactosidase (iβ-GLD) activity. The BBD also revealed the optimal settings for WPI concentration, PEI pH, PEI concentration, and GA concentration, which were 2.91 %, 10.8, 3.5 %, and 2.24 %, respectively. The GA-PEI-CPT-WPI beads grafting process was scrutinized via FTIR, EDX, and SEM. The optimal GA-PEI-CPT-WPI immobilizers provided fine β-GLD immobilization efficiencies, which reached up to 65.28 %. The free and GA-PEI-CPT-WPI iβ-GLDs pH and temperature profiles were scrutinized. It was also unveiled that the thermal stability of the iβ-GLD surpassed that of its free compeer as it provided lesser kd and ΔS values and larger t1/2, D-values, Ed, ΔH, and ΔG values. Furthermore, the iβ-GLD provided 92.00±3.39 % activity after 42 storage days, which denoted its fine storage stability. The iβ-GLD short duration (15 min) operational stability was also inspected, and 82.70±0.78 % activity was provided during the fifteenth degradation run. Moreover, the iβ-GLD long duration (24 h) operational stability was inspected while degrading the lactose of buffered lactose solution (BLS) and cheese whey (CW). It was unveiled that 81.86±0.96 % and 73.58±2.24 % of the initial glucose were detected during the sixth degradation runs, respectively.

Abstract
In this study, horseradish peroxidase was extracted, purified, and immobilized on a calcium alginate-starch hybrid support by covalent bonding and entrapment. The immobilized HRP was used for the biodegradation of phenol red dye. A 3.74-fold purification was observed after precipitation with ammonium sulfate and dialysis. An immobilization yield of 88.33%, efficiency of 56.89%, and activity recovery of 50.26% were found. The optimum pH and temperature values for immobilized and free HRP were 5.0 and 50 °C and 6.5 and 60 °C, respectively. The immobilized HRP showed better thermal stability than its free form, resulting in a considerable increase in half-life time (t1/2) and deactivation energy (Ed). The immobilized HRP maintained 93.71% of its initial activity after 45 days of storage at 4 °C. Regarding the biodegradation of phenol red, immobilized HRP resulted in 63.57% degradation after 90 min. After 10 cycles of reuse, the immobilized HRP was able to maintain 43.06% of its initial biodegradative capacity and 42.36% of its enzymatic activity. At the end of 15 application cycles, a biodegradation rate of 8.34% was observed. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that the immobilized HRP is a promising option for use as an industrial biocatalyst in various biotechnological applications.

Immobilization of commercial horseradish peroxidase in calcium alginate-starch hybrid support and its application in the biodegradation of phenol red dye. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 246:125723.

Abstract
In this study, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized for the first time on Ca alginate-starch hybrid beads and employed for the biodegradation of phenol red dye. The optimal protein loading was 50 mg/g of support. Immobilized HRP demonstrated improved thermal stability and maximum catalytic activity at 50 °C and pH 6.0, with an increase in half-life (t1/2) and enzymatic deactivation energy (Ed) compared to free HRP. After 30 days of storage at 4 °C, immobilized HRP retained 109% of its initial activity. Compared to free HRP, the immobilized enzyme exhibited higher potential for phenol red dye degradation, as evidenced by the removal of 55.87% of initial phenol red after 90 min, which was 11.5 times greater than free HRP. In sequential batch reactions, the immobilized HRP demonstrated good potential efficiency for the biodegradation of phenol red dye. The immobilized HRP was used for a total of 15 cycles, degrading 18.99% after 10 cycles and 11.69% after 15 cycles, with a residual enzymatic activity of 19.40% and 12.34%, respectively. Overall, the results suggest that HRP immobilized on Ca alginate-starch hybrid supports shows promise as a biocatalyst for industrial and biotechnological applications, particularly for the biodegradation of recalcitrant compounds such as phenol red dye.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization is a technology that enables (bio-)catalysts to be applied in continuous-flow systems. However, there is a plethora of immobilization methods available with individual advantages and disadvantages. Here, we assessed the influence of simple and readily available methods with respect to the performance of 2-deoxy-d-ribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) in continuous-flow conditions. The investigated immobilization strategies cover the unspecific attachment to carriers via epoxides, affinity-based attachment via metal ion affinity, StrepTag™-StrepTactin™ interaction as well as the covalent affinity attachment of an enzyme to a matrix tethered by the HaloTag®. The metal-ion-affinity-based approach outperformed the other methods in terms of immobilized activity and stability under applied conditions. As most enzymes examined today already have a HisTag for purification purposes, effective immobilization may be applied, as simple as a standard purification, if needed.

The High ‘Lipolytic Jump’ of Immobilized Amano A Lipase from Aspergillus niger in Developed ‘ESS Catalytic Triangles’ Containing Natural Origin Substrates. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
Lipase Amano A from Aspergillus niger (AA-ANL) is among the most commonly applied enzymes in biocatalysis processes, making it a significant scientific subject in the pharmaceutical and medical disciplines. In this study, we investigated the lipolytic activity of AA-ANL immobilized onto polyacrylic support IB-150A in 23 oils of natural origin containing various amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). The created systems were expressed as an ‘ESS catalytic triangle’. A distinct ‘jump’ (up to 2400%) of lipolytic activity of immobilized AA-ANL compared to free lipase and hyperactivation in mostly tested substrates was observed. There was a ‘cutoff limit’ in a quantitative mutual ratio of ω-PUFAs/MUFAs, for which there was an increase or decrease in the activity of the immobilized AA-ANL. In addition, we observed the beneficial effect of immobilization using three polyacrylic supports (IB-150A, IB-D152, and IB-EC1) characterized by different intramolecular interactions. The developed substrate systems demonstrated considerable hyperactivation of immobilized AA-ANL. Moreover, a ‘lipolytic jump’ in the full range of tested temperature and pH was also observed. The considerable activity of AA-ANL-IB-150A after four reuse cycles was demonstrated. On the other hand, we observed an essential decrease in stability of immobilized lipase after 168 h of storage in a climate chamber. The tested kinetic profile of immobilized AA-ANL confirmed the increased affinity to the substrate relative to lipase in the free form.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase has been greatly used in the dairy industry. This study investigated a novel thermostable β-galactosidase (lacZBa) from Bacillus aryabhattai GEL-09 and evaluated the hydrolytic performance of this enzyme. Firstly, the lacZBa-encoding gene was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Phylogenetic analyses revealed that lacZBa belonged to the glycoside hydrolase family 42. Using SDS-PAGE, we determined that the molecular weight of lacZBa was ~75 kDa. Purified lacZBa exhibited a maximum activity at 45 °C, pH 6.0, and could be activated following incubation at 45 °C for several minutes. The half-life of lacZBa at 45 °C and 50 °C was 264 h and 36 h, respectively. While Co2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ enhanced enzymatic activity, Cu2+ and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid inhibited enzymatic activity. Moreover, lacZBa could hydrolyze lactose and oNPG with Km values of 85.09 and 14.38 mM. Molecular docking results revealed that lacZBa efficiently recognized and catalyzed lactose. Additionally, the hydrolysis of lactose by lacZBa was studied in lactose solution and commercial milk. Lactose was completely hydrolyzed within 4 h with 8 U/mL of lacZBa at 45 °C. These results suggested that lacZBa identified in this study has potential applications in the dairy industry.

Abstract
In this research, we explored various immobilized enzyme support materials, including the novel nylon-6 fiber membrane (NFM), and evaluated the increase in surface area and its effect on enzyme binding potential. We also manipulated incubation and reaction conditions and assessed the subsequent effects on activity and stability of β-galactosidase, with comparisons between various solid support materials and free (dissolved) enzyme. Nylon-6 fiber membranes were created by electrospinning and were compared with other materials as solid supports for enzyme binding. The other materials included polyvinylidene fluoride 5-kDa nanofiltration dairy membranes, nylon-6 pellets, and silica glass beads. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the large surface area of NFM, which correlated with greater enzyme activity compared with the relatively flatter surfaces of the other solid support materials. Enzyme activity was measured spectrophotometrically with the color-changing substrate o-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside. Compared with the other solid supports, NFM had greater maximum enzyme binding potential. Across pH conditions ranging from 3.5 to 6.0 (including the optimal pH of 4.0-5.0), enzyme activity was maintained on the membrane-immobilized samples, whereas free enzyme did not maintain activity. Altering the storage temperature (4, 22, and 50°C) affected enzyme stability (i.e., the ability of the enzyme to maintain activity over time) of free and polyvinylidene fluoride membrane samples. However, NFM samples maintained stability across the varying storage temperatures. Increasing the immobilization solution enzyme concentration above the maximum enzyme binding capacity had no significant effect on enzyme stability for membrane-immobilized samples; however, both had lower mean stability than free enzyme by approximately 74%. With further development, β-galactosidase immobilized on NFM or other membranes could be used in continuous processing in the dairy industry for a combination of filtration and lactose hydrolysis-creating products that are reduced in lactose and increased in sweetness, with no requirement for "added sugars" on the nutrition label and no enzyme listed as final product ingredient.

Abstract
The immobilization of β-fructofuranosidase for short-chain fructooligosaccharide (scFOS) synthesis holds the potential for a more efficient use of the biocatalyst. However, the choice of carrier and immobilization technique is a key to achieving that efficiency. In this study, calcium alginate (CA), Amberlite IRA 900 (AI900) and Dowex Marathon MSA (DMM) were tested as supports for immobilizing a novel engineered β-fructofuranosidase from Aspergillus japonicus for scFOS synthesis. Several immobilization parameters were estimated to ascertain the effectiveness of the carriers in immobilizing the enzyme. The performance of the immobilized biocatalysts are compared in terms of the yield of scFOS produced and reusability. The selection of carriers and reagents was motivated by the need to ensure safety of application in the production of food-grade products. The CA and AI900 both recorded impressive immobilization yields of 82 and 62%, respectively, while the DMM recorded 47%. Enzyme immobilizations on CA, AI900 and DMM showed activity recoveries of 23, 27, and 17%, respectively. The CA, AI900 immobilized and the free enzymes recorded their highest scFOS yields of 59, 53, and 61%, respectively. The AI900 immobilized enzyme produced a consistent scFOS yield and composition for 12 batch cycles but for the CA immobilized enzyme, only 6 batch cycles gave a consistent scFOS yield. In its first record of application in scFOS production, the AI900 anion exchange resin exhibited potential as an adequate carrier for industrial application with possible savings on cost of immobilization and reduced technical difficulty.
