Thermal Stability of Immobilized Lipase from Candida antarctica in Glycerols with Various Water Contents at Elevated Temperatures

Abstract The immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica (fraction B, CALB) was incubated in glycerols with various water contents at 80–100 °C to measure the residual activity as a function of time. The glycerol‐containing water stabilized the immobilized CALB, especially at 30–60 wt% water contents...

Description
Summary:Abstract The immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica (fraction B, CALB) was incubated in glycerols with various water contents at 80–100 °C to measure the residual activity as a function of time. The glycerol‐containing water stabilized the immobilized CALB, especially at 30–60 wt% water contents. The thermal inactivation behaviors of the immobilized CALB were expressed by a model in which the free energy of activation for the inactivation of the immobilized lipase molecules obeyed a Gaussian distribution.
