Abstract In this study, CED was immobilized onto c-MWCNT by adsorption. Optimization of immobilization conditions (immobilization buffer's pH and molarity, c-MWCNT amount, and immobilization time) was resulted in 100% immobilization yield and 114.13% activity yield. Further, characterization of FCED and ICED was also studied. After immobilization, the optimum pH shifted from 5.0 to 6.0, while the optimum temperature (55 °C) did not change. Furthermore, kinetic constants for FCED and ICED were also determined using the Lineweaver-Burk plot. The Km value for both FCED and ICED were 54.35 g / L, while Vmax values for FCED and ICED were 2.77 μmol reducing sugar / L.mg.min and 3.19 μmol reducing sugar / L.mg.min, respectively. Moreover, there was no reduction in the initial activity of ICED after 20 consecutive uses and 30 days of storage at optimal storage conditions. Finally, 17.15% and 17.53% of the dextran in 10% dextran solution (pH 6.0) were converted to reduced sugars (IMOs and Glucose) in 12 hours using FCED and ICED, respectively. Consequently, it can be concluded that ICED obtained in this study can be effectively used for industrial production of IMOs and for hydrolysis of dextran.
