Abstract
Potential application of metal-chelate regenerable carriers in food pr ocessing has been considered for laccase (EC. 1.10.3.2.) immobilizatio n. Among the carriers tested, Sepharose 4B-Epi-IDA-Cu2+ with immobiliz ed enzyme showed the highest activity towards phenolic compounds, remo ving 75 and 69% of catechin from model solutions eluted from the start ing and regenerated carriers, respectively. These carriers were also c haracterized by high stability.
