This investigation demonstrates effective enzyme inactivation with 222 nm radiation in industrial applications, suggesting potential for higher efficiency.
The inactivation of enzymes is of great interest for many industrial applications. The effectiveness of photoinactivation of alpha-amylase, catalase, and urease with 222 nm radiation was investigated in comparison to that at 254 nm. The enzymes were irradiated with different fluence rates of 222 nm radiation emitted by a KrCl-excimer lamp and with 254 nm radiation produced by a low-pressure mercury lamp. The relative activities were calculated before and after irradiation.
