Calotropis procera cysteine peptidases (CpCPs) have been used for reducing cow’s milk allergenicity or as rennet in cheesemaking. Due to their residual presence in food products, the present study evaluated, for the first time, different protocols for their immobilization on different supports. Although the yield of immobilization on sulfopropyl-agarose (99%, at pH 7.0) was better than when using DEAE- and MANAE-agarose (40% and 15%, respectively), the derivatives had low recovered activity (4%). On the other hand, MANAE-agarose at pH 10.0 (200 mM buffer) exhibited the highest recovered enzymatic activity (~23%). Regarding the covalent immobilization, the peptidases immobilized on glyoxyl-agarose (glyoxyl-CpCPs) showed broader pH stability (pH 3.0–10.0), 60-fold more stable at 60 °C, and retained 70% of their initial activities after five reaction cycles, even though the immobilization has induced some structural changes analyzed by Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as well as altered some of enzyme kinetic parameters (Vₘₐₓ, Kₘ, Kcₐₜ, and catalytic efficiency). In addition, this biocatalyst (glyoxyl-CpCPs) hydrolyzed the major cow’s milk allergens (whey proteins) to a greater extent (65%) than the soluble enzymes (8%) and a commercial hypoallergenic formula (50%).
