IMMOBILIZED ENZYME NANOFIBER, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME AND REACTION APPARATUS USING THE NANOFIBER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an immobilized enzyme nanofiber hardly causes deactivation of the enzyme in production, having high enzymatic activity and stable over a long term, a method for producing the nanofiber and a reaction apparatus using the nanofiber.;SOLUTION: The immobilized enzyme nanofiber 14 can be produced by a method having a step to spin a raw material solution containing a polymer compound and an enzyme by an electrospinning method, and contains the enzyme such as lipase immobilized in the fibrous polymer matrix spun by the electrospinning method and having a diameter of 100 nm to 3 μm. The reaction apparatus uses a nonwoven fabric formed of the immobilized enzyme nanofiber 14 as a carrier of the immobilized enzyme and, accordingly, it has high reaction efficiency and improved economic efficiency compared with a batch process.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
