In the present study, we prepared two different magnetic biocatalysts of pectinase and cellulase: carrier-free magnetic CLEAs (CLEA-MP*) and immobilization on glutaraldehyde-activated magnetite (Enz-Glu-MP*). The biocatalysts were compared to their magnetic properties, immobilization parameters, stability and grape juice clarification. Enz-Glu-MP* presented higher magnetic properties than CLEA-MP*, whereas this presented higher surface area and pore volume. The KM of the enzyme immobilized on Enz-Glu-MP* was 25.65mM, lower in comparison to the CLEA-MP* (33.83mM). On the other hand, CLEA-MP* was the most active and stable biocatalyst, presenting higher recovered activity (33.4% of cellulase), higher thermal stability (2.39 stabilization factor) and improved reusability (8cycles). The integration of magnetic technology with enzymatic immobilization emerges as a possibility to increase the recover and reuse of biocatalysts for application in juice technology.
