The use of alpha-galactosidase and invertase in hollow fiber reactors.

Invertase and alpha-galactosidase have been immobilized in hollow fiber cartridges with no detectable enzyme leakage and used for the hydrolysis of sucrose and raffinose, respectively. For both hollow fiber immobilized enzymes nearly complete substrate conversion is possible. Enzyme stabilities in polysulfonate hollow fibers which have been preconditioned with bovine albumin approach the stabilities of the free enzymes.
