VUJCIC %J Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society %D 2003 %I Serbian Chemical Society %X Periodate oxidized invertase was immobilized by adsorption on sepiolite. The obtained immobilized enzyme was more resistant to washing out by concentrated salt solution, and had an eight times higher half-life at 60oC than adsorbed native invertase. In packed bed reactor 50 % conversion of 500 g/dm3 sucrose at 40oC and a flow rate of 1 bv/h was achieved. The specific productivity of the immobilized invertase was 0.187 kg/dm3/h. %K invertase %K periodate oxidation %K sepiolite %K immobilization %K sucrose %U http://www.shd.org.yu/HtDocs/SHD/Vol68/No11/V68-No11-05.pdf
