Abstract

Immobilization process is used to facilitate the enzyme recovery and reusability. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of different amounts of chitosan on immobilization efficiency of Glucose Oxidase (GOX), pH effect on enzyme activity and changes of kinetic characteristics of enzyme immobilized on Magnetic Chitosan Nanoparticles (MCNP). GOX was immobilized on MCNP with cross bonds and Schiff base covalent connections. The sample with 0.3 g of chitosan had the highest immobilization efficiency (41.30%). Morphology of nanoparticles was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Immobilization of GOX on magnetic nanoparticles was verified with Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The effect of pH on enzyme activity was similar on both immobilized enzyme (IE) and free enzyme (FE). The evaluation of kinetic parameters for IE and FE has showed that the effectiveness factor was 0.45. Generally, it could be concluded that magnetic nanoparticles with 0.3 g chitosan could provide a suitable medium for immobilization of GOX.
