Characterisation of the active substance
Preparation of fumonisin esterase produced by Komagataella phaffii DSM 32159.
Analytical method
( 2 )
—
For the determination of fumonisin esterase activity: High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with a tandem mass spectrometry. (HPLC-MS/MS) method based on the quantification of the tricarballylic acid released from the action of the enzyme on fumonisin B1 at pH 8,0 and 30 °C.
( 1 ) 1 U is the enzymatic activity that releases 1 μmol tricarballylic acid per minute from 100 μΜ fumonisin B1 in 20 mM Tris-Cl buffer pH 8,0 with 0,1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin at 30 °C.
