Abstract

1. Glucose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.4), amyloglucosidase (EC 3.2.1.3), invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) and β-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) were covalently attached via glutaraldehyde to the inside surface of nylon tube. 2. The linked enzyme system, comprising invertase immobilized within a nylon tube acting in series with glucose oxidase immobilized in a similar way, was used for the automated determination of sucrose. 3. The linked enzyme system, comprising β-galactosidase immobilized within a nylon tube acting in series with glucose oxidase immobilized in a similar way, was used for the automated determination of lactose. 4. The linked enzyme system, comprising amyloglucosidase immobilized within a nylon tube acting in series with glucose oxidase immobilized in a similar way, was used for the automated determination of maltose. 5. Mixtures of glucose oxidase and amyloglucosidase were immobilized within the same piece of nylon tube and used for the automated determination of maltose. 6. Mixtures of glucose oxidase and invertase were immobilized within the same piece of nylon tube and used for the automated determination of sucrose.
