Open publisher page 36 citations

Abstract

Abstract Extracellular inulinase from Kluyveromyces marxianus var. bulgaricus catalysed the hydrolysis of pure inulin and the extracts of fresh and dried topinambur (Jerusalem artichoke). At an enzyme concentration of 10 IU g−1 of substrate the three substrates were hydrolysed respectively to 65–3, 77–3 and 83–9%. The relationship between the extent of hydrolysis, reaction time and enzyme concentration was studied and a kinetic model of hydrolysis was derived.
