Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis enzyme-catalyzed gel-sol transition of calcium-alginate obtained by internal gelling strategy with the help of an entrapped alginate lyase. Alginate molecules and enzyme-produced oligoalginates shorten the gel time of physical gelatin gels (5% and 1.5%), probably due to local protein concentration increase. Interpenetrated networks composed of calcium-alginate and of gelatin are obtained only if elongation of gelatin helices inside a pre-existing calcium-alginate network could occur and only for low gelatin concentration (1.5%). The physical gelatin network is almost reversible inside the alginate one. Both networks can be obtained in the presence of alginate lyase, but gel-sol transition of calcium-alginate cannot be obtained in the presence of gelatin Flavobacterium sp.
