Characterization of immobilized catalases and their application in pasteurization of milk with H2O2

The catalase (fromAspergillus niger) has been immobilized by a chemical method on the pous SiO₂ modified with γ-aminopropyltrietoxysilane, followed with glutaraldehyde and by a physical method in alginate and γ-carrageenan gel. Optimum support:enzyme ratios and pH values were determined for modified SiO₂ in a series of immobilization reactions of catalase in the presence of the crosslinking agent glutaraldehyde, and for alginate and γ-carrageenan in the presence of hemoglobin and bovine serum albimine. pH and temperaturedependent activity variations and the stability properties of immobilized catalase preparations were investigated. Rate constants for H₂O₂ decomposition and catalase deactivation were determined. The decomposition rate of H₂O₂ used in the cold pasteurizatioan of milk were investigated in a discontinuous batch type reactor system. Activity half-lives of immobilized catalase were determined.     

Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of Dioxygen on Small Pt-Pd Clusters

1 INTRODUCTION The bimetallic nanoclusters are of standing inte- rest since they can exhibit catalytic, electronic and optical properties distinct from those of corre- sponding pure nanoclusters[1～4]. Palladium and pla- tinum, well known for their catalytic properties, are often used as the catalyst in different fuel cells[5～8]. Several experimental results illustrate that for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which is one of the primary reactions taking place in many fuel cells and…     

Asymptotic expansions of the distributions of some test statistics

Summary A modified Wald statistic for testing simple hypothesis against fixed as well as local alternatives is proposed. The asymptotic expansions of the distributions of the proposed statistic as well as the Wald and Rao statistics under both the null and alternative hypotheses are obtained. The powers of these statistics are compared and its is shown that for special structures of parameters some statistics have same power in the sence of order . The results obtained are applied for testing the hypothesis about the covariance matrix of the multivariate normal distribution and it is shown that none of the tests based on the above statistics is uniformly superior.

Direct Electrochemistry of Cytochrome C on the Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with 1-Pyrenebutyric Acid/MWNTs

With 1-Pymnebutyric acid （PBA） and multiwalled carbon nanotubes （MWNTs）, glassy carbon electrode modified was successfully prepared. In phosphate buffer solution （pH 7,0）, the direct electrochemistry of cytochrome C （Cyt C） was realized. In the cyclic voltammetry experiment two pairs of redox peaks ofCyt C were observed at 0.018 V and -0.314 V （vs. SCE）, respectively. The redox reaction at 0.018 V was diffusion controlled, while the redox reaction at -0.314 V was adsorption controlled.

Electrocatalysis of Tryptophan at Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Modified Electrode

Acid-treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode to form an MWNT-modified electrode. The electrocatalytic response of the modified electrode towards tryptophan (Trp) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The results demonstrated that the modified electrode exhibited a high degree of catalytic activity towards the oxidation of Trp. An oxidation peak was obtained in Trp solution at the MWNT-modified electrode. Compared with a bare electrode, the peak current had obviously increased, and the peak potential had shifted in a negative direction. However, under the same conditions, no response was observed for other amino acids. The oxidation peak currents were proportional linearly to the concentration of Trp, a property which could be utilized to detect Trp. The determination conditions, such as the concentration, the composition and the pH values of the supporting electrolyte, accumulation time, as well as scan rate etc. were optimized. Under the chosen conditions, the DPV peak current is linear to the concentration of Trp in the range of 2.5×10^–7 to 1.0×10^–4molL^–1, and the detection limit is 2.7×10^–8molL^–1. Moreover, the detection is free of interference from other amino acids. The modified electrode has been successfully applied to determine the concentration of Trp in composite amino acid injections, and it displays excellent repeatability and higher sensitivity.
