Abstract: | Marine Aspergillus awamori BTMFW032, recently reported by us, produce acidophilic tannase as extracellular enzyme. Here, we report the application of
this enzyme for synthesis of propyl gallate by direct transesterification of tannic acid and in tea cream solubilisation besides
the simultaneous production of gallic acid along with tannase under submerged fermentation by this fungus. This acidophilic
tannase enabled synthesis of propyl gallate by direct transesterification of tannic acid using propanol as organic reaction
media under low water conditions. The identity of the product was confirmed with thin layer chromatography and Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy. It was noted that 699 U/ml of enzyme could give 60% solubilisation of tea cream within 1 h. Enzyme
production medium was optimized adopting Box–Behnken design for simultaneous synthesis of tannase and gallic acid. Process
variables including tannic acid, sodium chloride, ferrous sulphate, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, incubation period and
agitation were recognized as the critical factors that influenced tannase and gallic acid production. The model obtained predicted
4,824.61 U/ml of tannase and 136.206 μg/ml gallic acid after 48 h of incubation, whereas optimized medium supported 5,085 U/ml
tannase and 372.6 μg/ml of gallic acid production after 36 and 84 h of incubation, respectively, with a 15-fold increase in
both enzyme and gallic acid production. Results indicated scope for utilization of this acidophilic tannase for transesterification
of tannic acid into propyl gallate, tea cream solubilisation and simultaneous production of gallic acid along with tannase. |
