PROCESS FOR IMMOBILIZING GLUCOSE ISOMERASE AND A METHOD OF CONTINUOUS ISOMERIZATION OF GLUCOSE

摘要

PROCESS FOR IMMOBILIZING GLUCOSE ISOMERASE AND A METHOD OF CONTINUOUS ISOMERIZATION OF GLUCOSE Glucose isomerase is immobilized in an active form by adsorbing the glucose isomerase onto a colloidal silica. The enzyme is contacted with the colloidal silica and the resulting composite solidified by freezing. Optionally, the composite may be gelatinized prior to freezing. The composite is then used for the isomerization of glucose to fructose.
