Characterization of Nariginase Obtained from Aspergillus niger by Submerged Fermentation Using Naringin Extracted from Lemon Peels: Crimson Publishers
Characterization of Nariginase Obtained from Aspergillus niger by Submerged Fermentation Using Naringin Extracted from Lemon Peels by Eze SOO* in Crimson Publishers: Peer Reviewed Material Science Journals
Naringin was extracted from lemon peels
with a yield of 0.25%. The activity of crude naringinase was 157.7μmol/min and
493.64μmol/ min using naringin disappearance and reducing sugars appearance
assay methods respectively. Naringinase was precipitated at 50% ammonium
sulphate saturation. After gel filtration, a purification fold of 32.84 with
specific activity of 7279.37μmol/min/mg was observed while using naringin
disappearance assay method and a 20.48 purification fold with specific activity
of 14463.57μmol/min/mg with reducing sugars appearance method of assay.
Percentage yields of 11.63% and 7.38% were observed using naringin
disappearance and reducing sugars appearance methods of assay respectively. The
enzyme pH and temperature optima were found to be 3.50 and 50 °C with a Km and Vmax obtained as 5.8mg/ml and 1111.11μmol/ min
respectively. This investigation suggests that lemon peels could be a good
source of naringin which could be used as a carbon source in submerged
fermentation for naringinase production using Aspergillus niger.
