... Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is one of the most important industrial plastics in the world. The development of technologies for its depolymerization aiming at monomer recycling is of paramount interest and in this context enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis has been recognized as a promising alternative. In the present study, a screening of 10 commercial enzymes using bis-(hydroxyethyl) terephthalat ...
... The dissemination of technologies for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) recycling is of paramount importance in the context of the plastics circular economy. One of the most promising alternatives is to use enzymes as catalysts for PET depolymerization to its monomers, but this route still needs improvement, especially regarding titer and productivity. In the present work, a sequential approach c ...
... Ferulic acid acylation of oligosaccharides catalyzed by feruloyl esterases (FAE) is a promising route to produce feruloylated oligosaccharides. However, modulation of FAE synthetic properties is a key step to improve the acylation. The efficiency of H. insolens FAE to catalyze the feruloylation in six different surfactantless microemulsions reaction systems was evaluated. The highest yield (57%) w ...
... Feruloyl esterase (FAE)-catalyzed esterification reaction is as a potential route for the biosynthesis of feruloylated oligosaccharides as functional ingredients. Immobilization of FAE from Humicola insolens on metal chelate-epoxy supports was investigated. The study of effects of immobilization parameters using response surface methodology revealed the significance of enzyme/support ratio (3.25-2 ...
... In this study, the flexible nanoporous MIL-53(Fe) (MIL = Materials of Institute Lavoisier) was used as an efficient support for in-situ and covalent binding immobilization of Humicola insolens lipase (HIL) and Rhizomucour miehei lipase (RML). In the covalent attachment procedure, the support synthesized under ultrasound irradiation was functionalized by N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and then attach ...
