[Study on PVA-alginate co-immobilization of Xanthomonas ampelina TS206]

Ice nucleation activity and anti-leaking capability are both important technical parameters in INA (Ice nucleation active bactetia) bacteria immobilization which can be adopted on freezing concentrate. Both PVA and alginate are good medium for immobilization. They can be used on co-immobilization of ice nucleation-active bacteria (Xanthomonas ampelinaTS206). The results showed that quantity of embedding affects ice nucleation activity greatly. The order of importance to comprehensive scores of technical standard should be concentration of Sodium alginate > Boric acid > PVA > CaCl2. The optimized concentration are PVA 8%, sodium alginate 1%, CaCl2 1.1% and boric acid 5%. A conclusion can be draw that ice nucleation activity increases with the number of beads and shows little pertinency with the time of immobilization, whereas anti-leaking capability can be influenced faintly by the number of beads and the time of immobilization.
