Lipase from Candida lipolytica has been immobilized on 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-modified palygorskite support. Scanning electron micrographs proved the covalently immobilization of C. lipolytica lipase on the palygorskite support through glutaraldehyde. Using an optimized immobilization protocol, a high activity of 3300 U/g immobilized lipase was obtained. Immobilized lipase retained activity over wider ranges of temperature and pH than those of the free enzyme. The optimum pH of the immobilized lipase was at pH 7.0–8.0, while the optimum pH of free lipase was at 7.0. The retained activity of the immobilized enzyme was improved both at lower and higher pH in comparison to the free enzyme. The immobilized enzyme retained more than 70% activity at 40 °C, while the free enzyme retained only 30% activity. The immobilization stabilized the enzyme with 81% retention of activity after 10 weeks at 30 °C whereas most of the free enzyme was inactive after a week. The immobilized enzyme retains high activity after eight cycles. The kinetic constants of the immobilized and free lipase were also determined. The Km and Vmax values of immobilized lipase were 0.0117 mg/ml and 4.51 μmol/(mg min), respectively.
