Immobilization of pancreatic lipase on polyvinyl alcohol by cyanuric chloride.
Porcine pancreatic lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) was covalently immobilized onto 2,4,6-trichloro-s-triazine (cyanuric chloride) activated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The influence of activating agent and enzyme concentration on the immobilization process were evaluated. Hydrolytic activities of free and immobilized enzyme were determined and the immobilization yield was estimated by measuring the quantity of protein, both in free enzyme solution and in washing solutions after immobilization. After the optimization of immobilization process, the physical and chemical characterization of immobilized enzyme was performed. Additionally, the thermal, pH, storage, and operational stability of the immobilized and free enzymes were tested. Obtained data showed that the immobilized enzyme seemed better and offered some advantages in comparison with free enzyme.
