Reaction Steps

This example describes the application of the immobilized glucose isomerase produced from DSM 3253. 11.7 g of the dried granulate produced in Example 6 was soaked in 200 ml 45% w/w glucose syrup, pH 7.5 for two hours. The enzyme particles were then transferred to a water jacketed column and a 45% w/w glucose syrup with 0.4 g MgSO4, 7H2O/l and 2 mM NaHCO3 at pH 7.5 was continuously pumped through the column at room temperature. After 1 hour the column temperature was raised to 60° C. and the flow adjusted to obtain a 41-44.5% conversion to fructose. The activity increased during the first 137 hours of isomerization. The syrup flow after 137 hours was 0.88 g syrup dry substance per g enzyme per hour and the degree of conversion in the outlet syrup was 44.3%. The experiment was terminated after 328 hours, the final syrup flow being 1.03 g syrup dry substance per g enzyme per hour with a degree of conversion in the outlet syrup of 42.0%.
