Formation of PEG/Dextran Aqueous Two-Phase System for Starch Hydrolysis Using $\alpha$-Amylase

$\alpha$-Amylase로 전분 가수분해를 위한 PEG/Dextran 수성 2상계 구성

In the polyethylene glycol/dextran aqueous two-phase systems, volume ratio was increased and partition coefficient was decreased with the increase of potyethylene glycol molecular weight and concentration. However the volume ratio was decreased and the partition coefficient was increased with the increase of dextran molecular weight. On the other hand, the volume ratio and the partition coefficient were decreased with the increase of dextran concentration. Continuous enzymatic hydrolysis of soluble starch with $\alpha$-amylase which was produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens IF0 14141 was investigated in polyethylene glycol/dextran aqueous two-phase systems. Nonreacted soluble starch and $\alpha$-amylase were reused in these systems. $\alpha$-Amylase activity was maintained more than 100 hrs by recycling of $\alpha$-amylase from bottom of settler to reactor.

Polythylene glycol/dextran 수성 2단계에서 polyethylene glycol의분자량과 농도가 증가할수록 체적비는 증가하고 분배계수는 감소하였다. 또한 dextran의 분자량이 증가할 수록 체적비는 감소하고 분배계수는 증가하였다. 한편 dextran의 농도가 증가할수록 체적비와 분배계수는 감소하였다.
