Abstract
Carboxylic acid groups were introduced onto polyethylene (PE) film by radiation-induced graft copolymerization. Subsequently, the clodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was immobilized on the PE film with a carboxylic acid group. The activity of the immobilized CGTase on PE film was in the range of 0.40-1.04 U/cm2 per min. The production of cyclodextrins (CDs) from corn starch was examined using the CGTase-immobilized PE film. The production ratios of CDs using CGTase-immobilized PE film was in the following order: α-CD > β-CD > γ-CD.
