The main objective of the present work was to modify multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) to generate amino-terminated surfaces for inulinase immobilization, which can be further used for fructose production. CCRD of response surface methodology was used for optimization of inulinase immobilization on MWCNTs. At optimized parameters (APTES concentration 4%; sonication time 4 h; enzyme coupling time 1.5 h and enzyme load 15 IU), maximal inulinase activity and immobilization yield was 60.7% and 74.4%, respectively. Immobilized inulinase showed same pH optima of free enzyme, while an elevation in temperature optima to 60 °C was observed after its immobilization. Immobilized inulinase also shown enhancement in pH stability and thermostability. Overall, 4.54-fold rise in half-life of inulinase was detected after immobilization at 60 °C. Km and Vmax of inulinase decreased after immobilization. Immobilized inulinase preserved 28% of its residual activity after 10 consecutive batch cycles of inulin hydrolysis for the production of fructose.
