The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the immobilization method of trypsin on biochar on the hydrolysis of casein from different sources, when compared to the process using trypsin in native form, to obtain bioactive peptides. The modification of the surface of biochar with glutaraldehyde was effective, as shown by the results of FTIR assay and the texture profile of the materials. Both activated and functionalized biochar showed high immobilization efficiency (greater than 87%) and high binding capacity (greater than 91 mg/g). During hydrolysis, the biocatalyst obtained by enzyme immobilization on the functionalized biochar presented a higher hydrolysis capacity for the different caseins when compared to the enzyme immobilized by adsorption, with values of 3.05 and 2.73 U/mg for goat casein, 2.36 and 1.85 U/mg for bovine casein, and 2.60 and 2.37 U/mg for buffalo, casein, respectively, with 60 min of reaction. The results of inhibitory activity in this study ranged from 93.5% and 25.5% for trypsin in its free form and immobilized on functionalized activated carbon, respectively, under the same reaction conditions. The immobilization methods were efficient, presenting high immobilization capacity. The proteolytic activity of trypsin immobilized via covalent binding was higher when compared the immobilization by adsorption. Thus, the functionalized biochar has proven to be potential support for enzyme immobilization, and the biocatalyst can be reused for more than 4 cycles. Despite lower ACE inhibition values of hydrolyzed obtained with the immobilized enzymes compared to free enzymes, biocatalysts present advantage due to the possibility of reuse.
