Abstract: It was to study the physical and chemical properties of immobilization of glucoamylase on the PEI/PVA nanofibers via ion bonding. Polyethyleneimine(PEI)/polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) composite nanofiber membrane was prepared by electrospinning technology, and thermal crosslinking was applied to make it possess water stability. Glucoamylase was immobilized onto the electrospinning PEI/PVA composite nanofiber membrane via ion adsorption. Results showed that fourier transform infrared spectrum(FT-IR) indicated that glucoamylase can be successfully fixed on the surface of the electrospinning PEI/PVA composite nanofiber membrane. Then, the enzymatic properties of immobilized glucoamylase were identified. The results have shown that the optimum reaction temperature of immobilized glucoamylase is 65℃, 6 degrees higher than free glucoamylase, and the applicable pH range of immobilized glucoamylase is wider than free glucoamylase significantly. In addition, immobilized glucoamylase also has good thermal stability, storage stability and reusability. The use of ion adsorption can help the protein molecules easily fixed onto the nanofiber membrane, so this method processes a certain application.
