Abstract
The combined effect of pH and temperature on chitinase was investigated using response surface methodology. A central composite design for two variables was employed. The optimal pH and temperature for the least degree of deactivation were found out to be 5.4 and 24°C respectively. The deactivation rate constants and the half life of chitinase were estimated at different pH and temperature combinations. At the optimal pH of 5.4, the rate of the deactivation was found to be the least. Thermodynamic parameters, viz., ΔH*, ΔS*, ΔG* and activation energy of thermal deactivation of chitinase were calculated in the temperature range from 50°C to 60°C.
