Abstract:In order to improve the prunin yield, simplify the process of separation and purification and obtain the high purity production, the conversion of naringin to prunin by cross-linked naringinase aggregate was investigated. The effects of substrate concentration, pH, temperature, enzyme dosage and the reaction time on the preparation of prunin by cross-linked naringinase aggregates were optimized, and the prunin concentration was took as the optimization index. The orthogonal design was used to optimize the catalytic processes, and the optimum conditions for producing the prunin were as follow: substrate concentration 13.79 mmol/L, pH 8.0, temperature 65 °C, enzyme dosage 18.0 mg/mL, reaction time 12.0 h. Under the above conditions, the production of prunin was about 13.36 mmol/L, and the yield of prunin was 96.87 %. The cross-linked aggregates was stable, it could successively convert for three cycles, and the yield of prunin could reach 91.29 %. Prunin can be effectively separated from the hydrolysis products by using the polyamide resin adsorption and 40% to 60 % isopropanol linear gradient elution .It provided a new approach for preparing the prunin.
