Enzyme-Membrane Immobilization Technology and Its Application for Fabrication of Food Functional Component
Enzymatic membrane reactor,constructed by immobilizing enzymes on membranes via physiochemical treatments,can carry out enzymatic reaction and product separation in one step operation.Due to the advantages,such as high efficiency of enzyme,low consumption of energy and less discharge of wastewater,enzyme-membrane technology has been widely applied in food technology.This work introduced enzyme immobilization technologies including physical adsorption/embedding,covalent binding,and cross-linking,as well as methods to improve the immobilization efficiency.The applications of enzyme-membrane immobilization technology on peptide preparation,functional polysaccharides production,lipid hydrolysis and synthesis,and polyphenol esterification were also summarized.Further prospects for the development of enzyme-membrane immobilization technology was proposed.The aim is to provide theoretical and technical support for further research and development of efficient enzyme-membrane immobilization technology suitable for food engineering application scenarios.
