Invertase immobilization in loofa sponge (Luffa cylindrica) for invert sugar syrup production has been carried out. Loofa sponge was treated with NaIO4 followed by the use of diamine compound, glutaraldehyde and enzyme immobilization. The best results obtained were: invertase immobilized activity: 4.510 (mmols/g matrix x min x mL); enzyme coupling efficiency: 0.428%, recovered activity: 1.5% and the extent of hydrolysis was of 2.6x10-3%.h-1.Metrics
