A dual enzyme system of exo-maltotetraohydrolase [EC 3.2.1.60] and pullulanase [EC 3.2.1.41] was studied for the continuous production of maltotetraose. Porous chitosan beads were selected from among many carriers as the best carrier to immobilize both enzymes. The properties of the immobilized enzymes were examined and compared with those of the native enzymes. For exo-maltotetraohydrolase, the optimum pH of the immobilized enzyme shifted slightly to the acidic side and the pH stability was improved on the alkaline side. The optimum temperature of the immobilized enzyme increased by about 15°C and thermostability was improved by about 10°C. As for pullulanase, very little difference in thermostability was observed. The effects of operating conditions on the continuous production of maltotetraose using exo-maltotetraohydrolase immobilized on the porous chitosan beads were examined. Porous chitosan beads were recognized to be superior to Diaion HP-50. The continuous production of maltotetraose was accomplished using the dual immobilized enzyme system. The dual enzyme system proved to be effective to increase the maltotetraose content in the product. A stable operation was successfully continued for more than 60 days.

YBCO coated conductors attract attention because of their high critical current in high magnetic field conditions, hence calling for a suitable coil fabrication method. One of the critical problems associated with this process, however, is the negative impact on YBCO coil performance due to epoxy impregnation. Epoxy impregnation is an important technique to increase the mechanical strength and thermal conductivity of superconducting coils. However, the bonding strength of epoxy resin is stronger than the delamination strength of YBCO coated conductors in a certain direction. Therefore, thermal stress could damage epoxy impregnated YBCO coils. As a new impregnation material, we have focused on cyanoacrylate resin.
