Abstract

Of the immobilization methods tested, alginate beads treated with glutaraldehyde gave the most stable and economic method for immobilizing L-arabinose isomerase for the industrial production of tagatose. L-Arabinose isomerase immobilized in a packed-bed reactor produced an average of 30 g tagatose 1-1 day-1 from 100 g galactose 1-1 for 8 days.
