Abstract
Of the immobilization methods tested, alginate beads treated with glutarald ehyde 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 l (-1) day(-1) from 100 g galactose l(-1) for 8 days.
