Enhanced High-Fructose Corn Syrup Production: Immobilizing Serratia marcescens Glucose Isomerase on MOF (Co)-525 Reduces Co 2+ Dependency in Glucose Isomerization to Fructose. Foods 2024; 13:527. [PMID: 38397503 PMCID: PMC10888103 DOI: 10.3390/foods13040527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The escalating demand for processed foods has led to the widespread industrial use of glucose isomerase (GI) for high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) production. This reliance on GIs necessitates continual Co2+ supplementation to sustain high catalytic activity across multiple reaction cycles. In this study, Serratia marcescens GI (SmGI) was immobilized onto surfaces of the metal-organic framework (MOF) material MOF (Co)-525 to generate MOF (Co)-525-GI for use in catalyzing glucose isomerization to generate fructose. Examination of MOF (Co)-525-GI structural features using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet spectroscopy revealed no structural changes after SmGI immobilization and the addition of Co2+. Notably, MOF (Co)-525-GI exhibited optimal catalytic activity at pH 7.5 and 70 °C, with a maximum reaction rate (Vmax) of 37.24 ± 1.91 μM/min and Km value of 46.25 ± 3.03 mM observed. Remarkably, immobilized SmGI exhibited sustained high catalytic activity over multiple cycles without continuous Co2+ infusion, retaining its molecular structure and 96.38% of its initial activity after six reaction cycles. These results underscore the potential of MOF (Co)-525-GI to serve as a safer and more efficient immobilized enzyme technology compared to traditional GI-based food-processing technologies.

Abstract
Glucoamylases (GAs) are one of the principal groups of enzymes involved in starch hydrolysis and belong to the glycosylhydrolase family. They are classified as exo-amylases due to their ability to hydrolyze α-1,4 glycosidic bonds from the non-reducing end of starch, maltooligosaccharides, and related substrates, releasing β-D-glucose. Structurally, GAs possess a characteristic catalytic domain (CD) with an (α/α)6 fold and exhibit five conserved regions within this domain. The CD may or may not be linked to a non-catalytic domain with variable functions depending on its origin. GAs are versatile enzymes with diverse applications in food, biofuel, bioplastic and other chemical industries. Although fungal GAs are commonly employed for these purposes, they have limitations such as their low thermostability and an acidic pH requirement. Alternatively, GAs derived from prokaryotic organisms are a good option to save costs as they exhibit greater thermostability compared to fungal GAs. Moreover, a group of cold-adapted GAs from psychrophilic organisms demonstrates intriguing properties that make them suitable for application in various industries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the structural and sequential properties as well as biotechnological applications of GAs in different industrial processes.

Abstract
Immobilization of enzymes has been widely reported due to their reusability, thermal stability, better storage abilities, and so on. However, there are still problems that immobilized enzymes do not have free movements to react to substrates during enzyme reactions and their enzyme activity becomes weak. Moreover, when only the porosity of support materials is focused, some problems such as enzyme distortion can negatively affect the enzyme activity. Being a solution to these problems, a new function "floatability" of enzyme devices has been discussed. A "floatable" micron-sized enzyme device was fabricated to enhance the free movements of immobilized enzymes. Diatom frustules, natural nanoporous biosilica, were used to attach papain enzyme molecules. The floatability of the frustules, evaluated by macroscopic and microscopic methods, was significantly better than that of four other SiO2 materials, such as diatomaceous earth (DE), which have been widely used to fabricate micron-sized enzyme devices. The frustules were fully suspended at 30 °C for 1 h without stirring, although they settled at room temperature. When enzyme assays were performed at room temperature, 37, and 60 °C with or without external stirring, the proposed frustule device showed the highest enzyme activity under all conditions among papain devices similarly prepared using other SiO2 materials. It was confirmed by the free papain experiments that the frustule device was active enough for enzyme reactions. Our data indicated that the high floatability of the reusable frustule device, and its large surface area, is effective in maximizing enzyme activity due to the high probability to react to substrates.

Abstract
In order to improve the application scale of diatomite in the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil in non-ferrous metal mining areas, the preparation of the modified diatomite-combined curing agent and its stabilizing effect on manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) were systematically studied in non-ferrous metal tailing soil in this paper. The results showed that compared with that in natural diatomite (DE), the contents of available Mn in soil treated by acid- and alkali-modified diatomite samples (C-D and Na-D) were 18.82 and 25.93% lower, respectively, and the content of available Zn in Na-D was significantly lower, 6.71%, than that in DE. Further research showed that modified diatomite combined with quicklime (CaO) and hydroxyapatite (HAP) could significantly improve the solidification effect of soil heavy metals. Compared with that in single modified diatomite, the contents of available Mn, Pb, and Zn in the mixed curing agent-treated soil decreased by 23.59-46.32, 5.88-47.93, and 5.37-10.68%, respectively. The final pot test showed that the mixed curing agent of modified diatomite had no significant effect on the growth of plants, but it could reduce the Mn, Pb, and Zn accumulation in the upper and lower parts of plants, which is because the acid-soluble and reducible heavy metals in soil transform into an oxidizable and residual state, which reduces the mobility of heavy metals.

Abstract
Glucose isomerase (GI) is a key enzyme in the preparation of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). In this study, a mutant TEGI-M-L38 M/V137 L (TEGI-M2) of glucose isomerase (TEGI-M) originated from Thermoanaerobacter ethanalicus CCSD1 was obtained by site-directed mutagenesis. The TEGI-M2 showed an optimal activity at 85 ℃ and pH 6.5 with the divalent cations Co2+ and Mg2+. The structural differences between TEGI-M and TEGI-M2 were investigated based on the homology modeling and molecular docking, to elucidate the mechanism of improvement in the enzymatic properties. Compared with the original enzyme, the TEGI-M2 showed a 2.0-fold increased enzyme activity and a decreased Km from 234.2 mM to 85.9 mM. Finally, the application of mutant TEGI-M2 in HFCS one-step biosynthesis was attempted, resulting in a d-fructose yield of 67.3 %, which was 14.3 % higher than that of TEGI-M. This improved catalytic performance of TEGI-M2 was of great importance for the industrial preparation of d-fructose in one-step process.
