Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of enzyme immobilization, and in particular relates to a composite sodium alginate-based aerogel immobilized enzyme carrier and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Enzymes are widely used in the development of novel foods and in numerous other fields. However, the inactivation and difficulty of free enzymes in complex industrial environments severely restrict their large-scale application. Immobilization techniques, which physically or chemically bind enzymes to carriers, can significantly improve enzyme reusability and environmental tolerance. Among existing methods, encapsulation is the preferred immobilization method due to its ease of use and ability to maximize enzyme activity. Sodium alginate, with its unique physicochemical properties, has become a core encapsulation material for enzyme immobilization. This natural linear polysaccharide, extracted from the cell walls of brown algae, is composed of alternating 1,4-glycosidic bonds between β-D-mannuronic acid and α-L-guluronic acid. Its molecular chain is rich in active sites such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. Its excellent water solubility, biocompatibility, mild gel properties, and low cost have made it widely used as a green and safe immobilization carrier in the food industry, drug delivery, and enzyme engineering. The gelation mechanism of sodium alginate follows the classic “egg-box model”: under neutral conditions, its carboxylic acid groups dissociate into negative charges, and the introduction of Ca 2 Cross-linking with divalent cations such as Zn2+ and Zn2+ can rapidly form a three-dimensional network hydrogel in a mild environment, achieving efficient encapsulation of enzyme molecules. However, single sodium alginate gels have obvious drawbacks: low mechanical strength, excessive porosity, and easy structural disintegration under long-term hydration conditions, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of industrial production for the mechanical stability and durability of the carrier. Aerogels are new porous materials that remove the liquid components in hydrogels through freeze-drying or supercritical drying technology to form a solid network structure with ultra-high specific surface area, low density and excellent thermal insulation properties. Compared with ordinary gels, they are easier to store and transport, and the enzyme loading efficiency can be optimized through pore regulation. The development of sodium alginate-based composite aerogels, such as the introduction of resistant starch to construct a hybrid network, can further optimize the performance of aerogels. At the same time, in recent years, self-healing hydrogels have attracted attention due to their ability to recover autonomously after damage. The application of existing self-healing materials in enzyme immobilization still faces challenges. Therefore, it is urgent to break through the performance bottleneck of a single material through dynamic dual-network design and provide an immobilized enzyme carrier with high mass transfer rate and self-healing properties. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Technical problem to be solved: In response to the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a composite sodium alginate-based aerogel immobilized enzyme carrier and its application, which uses sodium alginate as the base material and has good biocompatibility.

After freeze-drying, it exhibits a rounded and full skeleton structure to form a supporting effect, and adopts a dynamic double network design: the aldehyde group of oxidized sodium alginate forms a dynamic Schiff base bond with the hydroxyl group of starch, providing pH-responsive self-repairing ability.
