Abstrakt: Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) was immobilized by the ionic gelling technique using alginate and chitosan as encapsulating agents. An immobilization yield of 99% and an immobilization efficiency of 51% were obtained. Maximum hydrolytic activity for free and immobilized CRL was detected at 40 °C and for synthesis activity at 35 °C. The optimum pH for immobilized and free CRL hydrolysis activity was 8.0. The Vmax obtained for the hydrolysis reaction was higher for free CRL (4121.4 μmol/min/g) compared to immobilized CRL (2359.13 μmol/min/g). A Vmax of 2.24 μmol/min/g was detected for the synthetic activity of free CRL. The Km obtained for the hydrolysis reaction was higher (660.02 μmol/L) for immobilized CRL than for free CRL (403.06 μmol/L). For the synthetic activity, a Km of 234.44 μmol/L was calculated. The conversion of β-sitosterol oleate ranged from 80.85 to 96.84% for free CRL, higher than the maximum found for immobilized CRL (32%). The scale-up (scale factor: 50) with the free CRL was successfully performed, achieving a high conversion value (92%) in a 500 mL bioreactor. This conversion value was within the range predicted by the mathematical model obtained using mini reactors. These mini reactors are good models to test several conditions of enzyme reactions that are intended for large scales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
