Abstract
Thermo alkaline mannanase was purified from the bacteria of Bacillus pumilus (M27) using the techniques of ammonium sulphate precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex ion exchange chromatography and Sephacryl S200 gel filtration chromatography with 111-fold and 36% yield. It was determined that the enzyme had 2 sub-units including 35kDa and 55kDa in gel filtration chromatography and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis systems. The optimum pH and temperature was determined as 8 and 60°C, respectively. It was also noticed that the enzyme did not lose its activity at a wide interval such as pH3-11 and at high temperatures such as 90°C. Additionally, the effects of some metal ions on the mannanase enzyme activity. Moreover, the clarifying efficiency of purified mannanase enzyme with some fruit juices such as orange, apricot, grape and apple was also investigated. Enzymatic treatment was carried out with 1mLL(-1) of purified mannanase for 1h at 60°C. It was determined that the highest pure enzyme was efficient upon clarifying the apple juice at 154% rate.
