Notes:
The enzyme β-galactosidase (lactose) obtained from several microbial sources was immobilized on zirconia-coated porous glass particles. The immobilized enzymes were characterized by determining pH profiles, kinetic constants, thermal profiles, and operationalhalf-lives in lactose and whey ultrafiltrate solutions. Studies were carried out on continuous reactor performance, and enzyme requirements for scale-up were estimated. Lactose or whey hydrolyzed by this technique could find use commercially as a sweetener in a number of dairy products.
