Abstrakt
Cellulases are a group of enzymes, which catalyse different steps of cellulose hydrolysis, and are broadly used in industry
as unpurified mixtures of several enzymes. The total activity of cellulase is defined as the ability of the enzyme to
produce glucose, which is the final product of cellulose hydrolysis, and is expressed in cellulase units. However, common
strategies for the determination of the cellulolytic activity of industrial cellulase preparations are based on the
assessment of different steps of cellulose hydrolysis, and the results obtained with different methods are not similar.
The aim of the present study was to develop an assay for the determination of cellulase activity that relies on the
amperometric determination of the final product of cellulose hydrolysis glucose. The assay conditions were optimized
using response surface methodology (RSM) combined with Box-Behnken design. The detection limit of the proposed
method was 1.71 ± 0.06 U. We compared the results of the amperometric method with the ones obtained with the
spectrophotometric method and viscosimetry in a commercial cellulose preparation.
