AbstractAbstract
[en] The land of Tanah Putih, Gua Musang, Kelantan (Malaysia) is well-known for its wealth in industrial mineral resources, especially aluminosilicate of feldspar and mica. Natural feldspar and mica were physicochemically characterized with regard to X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen sorption analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques for qualitative and quantitative identification of feldspar and mica. They show a good crystallinity, high surface area and uniformity of meso porous structures. For the purpose of this experiment, the aluminosilicate of feldspar was modified either by acid treatment, or grafting the silanol groups present with various functional groups including aminopropyl-, octyl-, vinyl-, mercapto- and glycidoxy-triethoxy silanes, or activation of pre-treated support with glutaraldehyde. These support derivatives were used for further utilization in the immobilization of lipase from Candida rugosa and resulted in various interaction mechanisms between enzyme and introduced supports. It seemed that the features of the functionalized feldspar surfaces provide a preferable environmental host to enable the adsorption of lipase via interfacial adsorption method. Lipase immobilization onto feldspar support were further confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. Enhancement of protein loading (up to 8.22 mg protein/ g support) and immobilization yield (up to 78 %) were shown by modified feldspar-lipase derivatives compared to unmodified feldspar support.(author)
