Abstract
The effects of some sugars (glucose, mannose, fructose, sucrose and chitosan) and polyols (glycol, glycerol and sorbitol) as protective additive on the thermostability of β-mannanase were studied. The optimal reaction temperatures of β-mannanase and the thermodynamics and the deactivation kinetics with or without additives were also investigated. The experimental results show that sucrose, chitosan and sorbitol could apparently improve the thermal stability of β-mannanase when their concentration was kept at 2 g/L. The optimal combination additive proportion was sucrose: chitosan : sorbitol = 1 : 2 : 2 (molar ratio) using the orthogonal experimental design. The sucrose, chitosan, glycerol, sorbitol and the combination additive might increase the optimal reaction temperature from 50°C to about 60°C due to their good protection effect. The thermal deactivationcurves of β-mannanase accorded with the kinetic rules of first order reaction, and the corresponding kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were calculated. Meanwhile, the protective mechanism of the additives against deactivation of enzyme was also discussed.
