Abstract:

In order to increase the efficiency of the enzymatic conversion of flavonol glycosides and reduce the cost of the enzyme, the immobilization conditions of recombinant thermostable β-glucosidase were investigated. The differences of enzymatic properties between immobilized enzyme and free enzyme were compared, and the conversion curves and conversion efficiency of the immobilized enzyme on transforming three kinds of flavonol glycosides were obtained. The results showed that the optimal immobilization conditions were sodium alginate 1.5%, calcium chloride 2%, glutaraldehyde 1.25%, and pellets solidifying time 2.5 h under room temperature and pH 6.0. Under these conditions, enzyme activity was 0.64 U/mg, and the immobilization rate was 62.5%. The pH stability and temperature stability of the immobilized β-glucosidase were better than those of the free β-glucosidase and it retained more than 55% residual activity after reusing for 20 times. The isoquercetin, daidzin, and icariside I were transformed into their aglycones with high efficiency though immobilized β-glucosidase and the conversion rates were 99.37%, 97.21% and 97.93%, respectively, and the yields of quercetin, daidzein and icariin were 0.776, 1.091 and 0.714 g/(L·h), respectively.
