Abstract
This study was carried out to enhance the stability and activity of polygalacturonase (PGase) purified from Kluyveromyces marxianus IFO 0288. Gums such as xanthan gum, guar gum, and locust bean gum were capable of increasing the catalytic stability and activity of the PGase. At $30^{\circ}C$, the rate constants for the inactivation of the PGase with xanthan gum, guar gum, and locust bean gum were estimated to be $0.0003min^{-1}$, below $0.0001min^{-1},\;and\;0.0001min^{-1}$ respectively, whereas control was estimated to be $0.0082min^{-1}$. The yield of the maceration reaction catalyzed by the PGase for the production of carrot single cells increased by 13% in the presence of guar gum, where the relative enzyme activity supplemented with guar gum was two-fold greater than that of the PGase alone.
