Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of light industry pulping and papermaking, in particular to a method for improving the stability of biological enzymes by using Eudragit as a carrier. Background Art

[0002] The pulp and paper industry is one of the largest chemical industries in the world. Bio-enzyme technology and bio-enzyme pretreatment utilize the specificity, high efficiency and environmental friendliness of enzymes to degrade cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in wood fibers, improve fiber morphology and improve pulp performance, and have gradually become a research hotspot in the pulp and paper industry. However, bio-enzyme technology still faces many challenges in practical applications, such as high cost and poor stability.

[0003] In order to improve the application of bio-enzymes in the papermaking industry, the pH-sensitive carrier Eudragit was selected as the immobilization carrier. Eudragit is a pH-responsive polymer with intelligent slow-release control function. Its mechanism of action in bio-enzyme immobilization includes: pH sensitivity-under different pH conditions, Eudragit exhibits different solubility and stability, protects the activity of enzymes in acidic environments, and releases enzymes in neutral or alkaline environments; physical adsorption and chemical cross-linking-Eudragit fixes enzymes through physical adsorption or chemical cross-linking, enhances enzyme stability and reduces loss. Eudragit's mechanical strength and chemical stability ensure that it maintains high enzyme activity after repeated use.

[0004] Bio-enzyme pretreatment technology has broad application prospects in the pulp and paper industry, but its high cost and lack of stability limit its large-scale industrial application. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention proposes a method for improving the stability of biological enzymes by using Eudragit as a carrier, wherein the solubility of Eudragit is changed by adjusting the pH and activated by EDC, and biological enzymes are added for covalent cross-linking, and finally better stability and recyclability are obtained.

[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention proposes A method for improving the stability of a biological enzyme by using Eudragit as a carrier, comprising the following steps: step 1, carrier pretreatment: adding a pH-sensitive Eudragit carrier to deionized water, adjusting the pH to 6-8 with 0.01 mol / L-0.03 mol / L NaOH, to form a fully dissolved carrier solution; step 2, carrier activation: adding EDC with a concentration of 0.1%-0.4% (w / v) to the carrier solution of step (1), and activating for 0.5-2h; step 3, enzyme immobilization: adding a biological enzyme to the activated carrier solution, wherein the amount of the biological enzyme added is 0.5%-4% (w / v), and the immobilization treatment reaction is performed for 4-12 hours; step 4, post-treatment: adjusting the pH of the mixed solution obtained in step 3 to 3.0-5.0, collecting the precipitate after centrifugation, and dissolving the precipitate in a phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 4.5-5.5 to obtain an immobilized enzyme preparation.

[0007] Furthermore, the Eudragit carrier is Eudragit L-100 or Eudragit S-100.

[0008] Furthermore, the biological enzyme in step 3 is pectinase.

[0009] Furthermore, in step 3, the immobilization treatment equipment adopts a constant temperature shaker.

[0010] Furthermore, in step 3, the reaction temperature of the constant temperature shaker is 20-60° C., and the shaking speed is 60-120 rpm.

[0011] Furthermore, the buffer solution in step 4 is a phosphate buffer solution with a concentration of 0.01 to 0.1 mol / L and a usage amount of 5% to 10% (w / v).

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention can effectively immobilize the biological enzyme on the surface and pores of the carrier, and because Eudragit is reversibly soluble, it can also provide great convenience for the recycling of the biological enzyme through simple separation means (filtration, pH adjustment), reduce enzyme loss and reduce production costs. In addition, the reversible solubility of the carrier also allows the enzyme to be released when needed, further improving the utilization efficiency of the enzyme and the flexibility of the reaction. Immobilization of the biological enzyme by the carrier can improve the thermal stability and pH stability of the biological enzyme, and still maintain a high activity after multiple recycling.

[0013] In summary, by immobilizing the bio-enzyme on the Eudragit carrier, not only the stability of the enzyme in a complex reaction environment is significantly improved, but also its reusability is enhanced, thereby greatly reducing the cost of enzyme use, providing a broader development prospect for bio-enzyme pretreatment in the pulp and paper industry.

The test reagents used in the following examples, unless otherwise specified, are all conventional biochemical reagents; the experimental methods, unless otherwise specified, are all conventional methods.

[0017] Example 1 This embodiment discloses a method for improving the stability of a biological enzyme using Eudragit as a carrier, which specifically comprises the following steps: Step 1, immobilization of pectinase: Step 11, carrier pretreatment: 1% (w / v) Eudragit L-100 was added to deionized water and the pH was adjusted to 6 by 0.01 mol / L NaOH to form a fully dissolved carrier solution; Step 12, carrier activation: add 0.2% (w / v) EDC to the fully dissolved Eudragit series carrier solution, and activate the carrier for 0.5 h; Step 13, adding 0.5% (v / v) pectinase to the activated carrier solution, and immobilizing it on a constant temperature shaker for 8 hours, wherein the shaker is set at a temperature of 30°C and a rotation speed of 60 rpm; Step 14, enzyme immobilization: adjusting the pH of the immobilized pectinase carrier mixed solution to 3, collecting the precipitate by centrifugation, and dissolving the precipitate immobilized pectinase in a 0.01 mol / L phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 4.5 at a dissolution concentration of 5% (w / v) to obtain an immobilized enzyme preparation; Step 2: pH and thermal stability test of immobilized enzyme: The enzyme activity was determined by the DNS method. In this process, the substrate of the immobilized enzyme was pectin dissolved in a buffer solution with a pH of 5 to 9. The reaction temperature was controlled at 30 to 70°C. The relative enzyme activity of immobilized enzyme under different temperature and pH conditions is as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0018] Example 2 Step 1, immobilization of pectinase: Step 11, carrier pretreatment: 1% (w / v) Eudragit S-100 was added to deionized water and the pH was adjusted to 8 by 0.03 mol / L NaOH to form a fully dissolved carrier solution; Step 12, carrier activation: add 0.2% (w / v) EDC to the fully dissolved Eudragit series carrier solution, and activate the carrier for 2 h; Step 13, enzyme immobilization: 4% (v / v) pectinase was added to the activated carrier solution and immobilized on a constant temperature shaker for 8 h, wherein the shaker was set at 60°C and 120 rpm; Step 14, post-treatment: adjust the pH of the immobilized pectinase carrier mixed solution to 5, collect the precipitate by centrifugation, dissolve the precipitated immobilized pectinase in a 0.1 mol / L phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 5.5 at a dissolution concentration of 10% (w / v) to obtain an immobilized enzyme preparation.

[0019] Step 2: pH and thermal stability test of immobilized enzyme: The enzyme activity was determined by the DNS method. In this process, the substrate of the immobilized enzyme was pectin dissolved in a buffer solution with a pH of 5 to 9; the action temperature was controlled at 30 to 70°C.

[0020] The relative enzyme activity of immobilized enzyme under different temperature and pH conditions is as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0021] Comparative Example pH and thermal stability test of unimmobilized pectinase: The enzyme activity was determined by the DNS method. In this process, the substrate of pectinase was pectin dissolved in a buffer solution with a pH of 5 to 9, and the action temperature was controlled at 30 to 70°C. The relative enzyme activity of immobilized enzyme under different temperature and pH conditions is as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0022] Depend on Figure 1It can be seen that at pH 5-8, the relative enzyme activity of pectinase fixed by Eudragit L-100 gradually increased with the increase of pH, and the relative enzyme activity was the highest at pH 8; and the relative enzyme activity of the fixed pectinase gradually increased with the increase of temperature, and the relative enzyme activity was the highest at 60 ℃.

[0023] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that at pH 5-8, the relative enzyme activity of pectinase fixed by Eudragit S-100 gradually increased with the increase of pH, and the relative enzyme activity was the highest at pH 8; and the relative enzyme activity of the fixed pectinase gradually increased with the increase of temperature, and the relative enzyme activity was the highest at 60 ℃.

[0024] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that at pH 5-8, the relative enzyme activity of the unimmobilized pectinase gradually increased with the increase of pH, and the relative enzyme activity was the highest at pH 6; and the relative enzyme activity of the immobilized pectinase gradually increased with the increase of temperature, and the relative enzyme activity was the highest at 50 ℃.

[0025] The comparison showed that the pectinase immobilized on the two carriers ( Figure 1 , 2 ) is lower than that of the unimmobilized enzyme ( Figure 3 ), and there were significant improvements in pH adaptability (especially alkaline environment) and temperature stability (high temperature tolerance), indicating that immobilization technology can improve the application performance of pectinase and broaden its applicable conditions.
