Exo‐inulinase production from Aspergillus fumigatus NFCCI 2426: purification, characterization, and immobilization for continuous fructose production

Abstract: Aspergillus fumigatus was found to produce thermostable exoinulinase (EC 3.8.1.80; 38 U/ml) on inulin-rich infusions. Exo-inulinase (14.6 U/mg) was immobilized on glutaraldehyde activated Ca-alginate beads for continuous generation of fructose by hydrolyzing sucrose, chicory, and dandelion substrates. Immobilization of enzyme was confirmed by microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The exo-inulinase was purified using ion-exchange (1.30-folds) and size-exclusion chromatography (2.71-folds). The purified exo… Show more

“…The more amount of reducing sugar produced is the higher the inulinase activity and vice versa [25]. The results of this study are different from the previous studies which found sources of inulinase from fungi such as the discovery of Aspergillus fumigatus [26], and Penicillium sp., as well as other sources of inulinase from bacteria such as Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp., and Arthrobacter sp, and source inulinase from yeasts such as Saccharomyces sp., Kluyveromyces sp., and Candida sp. [27].…”

“…As for the characteristics of the enzyme, its optimum temperature (60 °C) is the same as that reported for Aspergillus fumigatus [ 19 ], Aspergillus niger [ 20 ], and Aspergillus tubingensis [ 21 ] inulinases. With an optimum pH of 4.0, the enzyme proved to be resistant to acidic conditions, a feature of great interest for high-fructose syrup (HFS) production, because it reduces the risk of microbial contamination especially during continuous operation [ 22 ].…”

“…Exoinulinase produces fructose as the main product by cleaving terminal units of fructose from inulin, whereas the inner linkages of inulin are hydrolyzed by endoinulinase into inulo-oligosaccharides [5,8]. Inulinase is a valuable enzyme used principally for fructose [10,11], ultrahigh fructose syrup [12,13], and ethanol [8,14] production.…”
