Abstract
- Six methods to determine the activity of tannase produced by Aspergillus niger Aa-20 on polyurethane foam by solid state fermentation, which included two titrimetric techniques, three spectrophotometric methods and one HPLC assay were tested and compared. All methods assayed enabled the measurement of extracellular tannase activity. However, only five were useful to evaluate intracellular tannase activity. Studies on the effect of pH on tannase extraction demonstrated that tannase activity was considerably under-estimated when its extraction was carried out at pH values below 5.5 and above 6.0. Results showed that the HPLC technique and the modified Bajpai and Patil methods presented several advantages in comparison to the other methods tested.Seis métodos para determinar a atividade de tannase produzida por Aspergillus niger O Aa-20 em espuma de polyuretano por fermentação em estado sólido foram estudados. Duas técnicas titulométricas , três métodos spectrofotométricos e um método por HPLC foram testados e comparados. Todos os métodos testados permitiram determinar a atividade da tannase produzida extracelularmente. Entretanto, somente cinco se mostraram úteis para avaliar a atividade da tannase produzida intracelularmente. Os estudos do efeito do pH na extração de tannase demonstraram que a atividade de tannase era consideravelmente subestimada quando sua extração foi executada em valores de pH inferiores a 5.5 e superior a pH 6.0. Os resultados demostraram que a técnica de HPLC o método Bajpai and Patil modificado apresentam várias vantagens em comparação aos outros métodos testados.
